RP started a post concerning self-mastery - and this brought cats to
my mind.  As we know, dogs have owners and cats have staff.  Quite how
these furry ragamuffins exert their mastery I am unsure.  We collected
three before the increasingly lovely dog arrived in Sue's arms from a
local farm.  Kitchen interlopers are rare now Maxwell exerts his
influence - in the past they broke the magnetic cat flap.
The cats watch television with me.  After BBC's 'secret life of
cats' (dull - too many people and no secrets about cats), one of them
brought a dead bird in, almost as if on instruction.  I don't go for
this explanation, but am a keen observer of their language and
objectification of the world around them.  I am the door butler and
groom, Sue food provider and mother.  Max is heat source, defender-
plaything and subject of long, scornful looks of self-mastered
arrogance.
