Looks to me like the cat is planning your demise.

Make sure your life insurance policy is up to date and you have a will.

Has the cat been waking you up in the middle of the night wanting you to pet it? If so, it is testing your response time.

well, wtf would you do with an armadillo? :D

they are pretty damn stupid, armadillos. My dad lives in FL and has a miniature dachtsun. That thing is a terror on the lizards in teh back yard and neighborhood rats.

He takes to mongrel out to the park with him pretty regularly and he chases down his fair share of armadillos, too.

dogs hunt in packs. When you put them up against a single cat, or a bunch of cats, a pack of hunting dogs will easily outclass cats.

they also have different tactics, so it's hard to compare. cats depend on stealth and surprise, short bursts.

Dogs have high stamina, and rarely give up. They will corner and trap the prey while running it to exhaustion.

If a cat doesn't get the jump in the first second, they tend to give up quickly, or not even try. Even a cheetah will give up after a minute or so, iirc.

She use to be a hissy angry cat when she was young. She's about 4 years old now and has calmed down and is very friendly now. At least she won't claw your arm off now if you try to pet her when you want to pet her instead of when she wants to be petted.

Youre gonna be that guy? My cats come by name. He'll, the two males hang on my every word. Same with the two females.

But the again we lost our dog to old age. If one takes sides on kittehs or dog one doesn't know them.

My cats are trained and many ways better than the dogs I've had. It all comes down to training.

i had a cat stay with me while the owner looked for a new apartment that allowed pets. the cat got a new collar with a bell on it and didnt care for all the noise it made. after a day or two of trying to pull the bell off it gave up. a little while later it figured out how to rotate the collar so that the bell rested on top of its neck and didnt dangle and chime. anytime it wanted to go stealth it rotated the collar.
Yep totally not learned.:rolleyes:
