Cats become superior to us as soon as they learn that a leg swipe, a proper cocking of the head or a pitiful "mreow" wraps us around their paw. I have a cat who is 14 (more than half my age, yikes) who rules all and trains the others if she so deems them fit. I've been low on the totem pole for years.
True, still many people who haven't seen it here (the second ep, at least). We could talk spoilers! See, you need to have another at your level that you can talk spoilers with to make others jealous. Then, instead of being a lone braggart you become part of a scorned group of the elite who, only by their good will and grace, see fit not to spoil the poor backward and sad masses who don't have access to pre-air material. :)
But, if it makes you feel a bit better... You got to see Coupling years before I did... that makes up for it in my book.
Loki who spends most of his time out side as a self profesed 'king of hunters', Sally, a fat neurotic tabby, and Cobweb a psychotic ball of fluff who has my father, stepmother and sister so far under her thumb that they have to give part of their dinner as tribute as well her having her own food.
Luckily, I have avoided falling under her despotic rule.
Oddly, only one ever cared about hunting. The rest are content to prowl for bags of catfood and unwatched plates.
Sadly, due to her years and knowledge, we all cowtow to the 14 year old grannycat. Considering she's nicknamed "Hellbitch" and "Little-Miss-PMS" is it any wonder? Though her name is actually Pollyanna Drake. What...? Doesn't everyone's cat get their last name?
In order of seniority, my house is: Pollyanna "Polly" Drake (named that because as a kitten she rode on shoulders) Pumpkin "Punky" Drake (named as she was "found" (aka a neighbor found her and tossed her over the fence into our yard so they wouldn't have to deal with her) around autumn) Arabella Figg "Figgy" Drake (... we were reading HP at the time) Tosca Lynn "Tosca" Drake (half-named for a meerkat from Meerkat Manor and half-named because my mom saw her owners toss her out of a car by the side of the road as a kittent Tossed-Cat = Tosca) "Elby" Drake (he started life as Little Bear which became L.B. which became Elby... he's Tosca's kitten) Houdini Gonzalez "Houdini" Drake (he made amazing escapes as a very young kitten, so Houdini and he's fast, so, Gonzalez for Speedy!) Langly Wallingford "Langly" Drake (named after a character from "All My Children" 'cause we couldn't think up another name... how sad, eh?)
And one poor maligned dachshulabradoodle named Sydney Sunshine (or Sprinkles) Drake.
'Cause a monkey wearing pants... really, that's a hindrance to feces flinging. Wait, hrm, but pants could act as a cache for excess feces for flinging. I like that, I like that a lot. Should I become a monkey I shall definitely wear pants.
But as for me, I mean, I don't fling feces so...
Oh, oh, yeah, I'm wearing pants. Yep, sure am. Pants on. Totally. I mean, I haven't been to one of those chat rooms in ages, so ... er, digressing. Yes, I'm clothed, no one worry.

If I were a monkey (and wearing pants) this would be me mocking you. ;)
...something about that last sentence seems wrong, but I can't figure out what...

Now the above wasn't particularly helpful or educational but it was something new.
