Cat irony

    Playing with string with a cat, you get an idea of just how ferocious they really are. I'm not going to put the string in my mouth to test, but I'm pretty sure that at best it doesn't have much flavor at all and at worst it tastes pretty awful. But she really, really, really, really wants to catch that string and get it in her mouth and bite it and chew it and kill it. She gets pretty agitated about it. And it's the height of anomaly to have this ferocious hunter have a kitten face and a baby's voice and a very sweet disposition, most of the time. The birds and rodents have no idea how grateful they are to me that I never let her outside.
