I am praised because I am such a good mouser; my brother for his lovely purr (although why that should be so appreciated I fail to see).  One of us is white and one black, but that makes no difference to us, (or to the pretty tabby next door).  So why should it make one to a self-styled superior species?

You could learn a lot from that cat:-)

I trust you are referring to the treatment of colour rather than his plans for next door's tabby cat.

Absolutely:-)

Ha. A cat willing to sit in my lap and purr is quite a valuable asset. I have no real idea why - part of the mystique of pet ownership. The pretty tabby next door is much more sensible than I.

Indeed! We're looking for qualities of looks way too often, and they're so subjective, and so limited in their time. I can't imagine an animal I don't approve of though (except, maybe, midges). ;)

I would agree with you - both mousers and purrers have their place.

Thank you. I suppose even midges have a purpose.

A good mouser is the best! Too bad my cats now are so incredibly stupid that they'll just stare at a mouse like it's a UFO. I need the Munros' cat!

We had a cat that threw a mouse in the air, which then went backwards over his head. The cat sat staring into space waiting for the mouse to come back down.
