Cats rock, humans suck.

I cannot ignore the fact that I sometimes look onto the world as if I was God looking down onto all creation.

I cannot hide the pang of shame whenever I see a woman walk her dog down the street, like a little serventile plaything and not alive. Oh sure, Paris Hilton may spoil her little rat-dog thing but it's not the right way of going about things.

I see animals and ourselves as near enough equals. After all, we are the ones who are unnatural. We save the dying and weak, we can choose whether to have kids, we drive cars, we live in houses, we condition air to suit our tastes. Whatever Nature throws at us, we have a synthetic cure on standby to erase her "godless" work.

To combat disease, we have innoculations, cures, painkillers and all manner of potions and lotions.
To combat heat, we have air conditioning, fans, cold water and ice cubes.
To combat age, we have cosmetic surgery, anti-wrinkle cream, hair dyes and god knows what else Hollywood doctors have up their sleeves.

Is this natural?

Even as I write this, kept warm by cental heating and polyester jumpers, on a computer, scented with alcohols, what am I?

Yet we use animals to our advantage merely because we consider them below us and useful. They are, of course, used in medicines, flavourings, cosmetics, food, clothing, entertainment...the list is endless.

How I envy the household cat.

It can gain all the luxuries of a human household whilst doing nothing except pleasing itself.

I think it's ironic that this animal is smarter than us all.

All hail the marvellous cat, god of us all.
