It would surely be more convenient for me if they had a nice, large, pan full of the stuff. Then they start singing, and rarely have I been subjected to a less melodious cacophony of noise. I have classical training and can sing in five different keys. When I try to join in, hoping to add some harmony to smooth out this noise, they have the nerve to suggest I am yowling. It is NOT my fault they cannot remember what they are doing without writing it down.
Cats have much better memories.
Lord and Lady know I have tried to train them, but they are so slow to learn new behavior. It is not easy being a familiar. Constantly pulling tails, and so on, made me disgusted with all of them. So I ran away to the Cat World for a time. Lots of interesting information which I am grateful to my teachers for imparting to me.
