We are, I realize, trying to out-stealth a cat. It's going about as well as you'd expect.

I don't have time read the full article right now, but this pair of sentences alone is priceless...

Also this one: The problem is that, acclimation aside, Pudding is still a cat — an innate master of not doing what you want him to do.

Our cats often make me think of the opening of War of the Worlds:

"intellects vast and cool and unsympathetic, regarded this earth with envious eyes, and slowly and surely drew their plans against us"

[OK Not 100% sure about the "vast intellect" bit - but "cool and unsympathetic" definitely].

As well as the conclusion...

"'We're just doing this for curiosity' Curiosity eh? Maybe that's why the cats aren't cooperating."

Great read, enjoyable. I just love reading about big cats and small cats in general.

That pair of sentences alone was worth the read :P
