Does the cat on my tummy come with me? If not Cheddar says that this expirement violates the cat sitting treaty of 1669
We only made that damn treaty because they promised to chase off the rats during the last bout of the Plague. We've had it twice more since then, lazy furballs.
Maybe we should stop forcefully removing cats from the locations people gather the most. Grocery stores. Churches. Places of business. Maybe the Egyptians knew a thing or two about keeping the Gods happy.
Edit for the downvoter: maybe you didn't get the joke, but Egyptians basically worshipped cats. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cats_in_ancient_Egypt
