The further and continuing adventures of the girl who sat in the back of your homeroom, reading and daydreaming.

"I saw to what extent the people among whom I lived could be trusted as good neighbors and friends; that their friendship was for summer weather only; that they did not greatly propose to do right; that they were a distinct race from me by their prejudices and superstitions."

Dogs go to the same Church, I think. At least mine do.
With dogs it's a rule (a dogma, so to speak) that food hitting the floor becomes the property of the dog, and that attempts to retrieve the food justify biting on the part of the dog.
Synchronicity?

Our new (used) cat is much more pragmatic than that. If nothing falls on the floor, doctrine calls for him to jump up on the counter and eat it there.
About the only thing that currently deters him is a squirt gun pointed right at him while he's still crouching for the jump on the floor, and the comment, "Go ahead, what do you THINK will happen?" You can actually watch him doing the risk/benefit analysis math in his head for a second, and then the look of reproach as he walks away, knowing full well he'll be making another try in a few minutes.
"Food Monkey", I like that. As Heinlein noted, humans are in charge of rations, quarters and weather; the cats are in charge of everything else. At least all of our doors are opening into spring now, if not summer.
Blackwing, it's been pointed out before that "dogs have owners, cats have staff."
Heinlein is also quoted as saying, "Thousands of years ago, cats were worshipped as gods, and cats have never forgotten that."
And I am one who in his life has lived with cats and dogs (with cats and dogs living together a few times).
+1 on Rick!
You should do it as a video -- with soundtrack by Al Stewart, of course.
