- bombcar 1y agoThe Wikipedia article is obviously in error. It’s clear to me that the government serves Larry and at his convenience.
- Stratoscope 1y agoYou are correct. As anyone who has lived with a cat knows, you do not own the cat, the cat owns you.

- Imustaskforhelp 1y agoOne of my cousins said the following things which is also kinda like what you said haha When we feed a dog, it thinks that we (humans) are the god, but then when we feed a cat food, it thinks that I(cats) are the god. And to be really honest, in ancient egpyt or something, cats were really considered close to god (IMO?) and I remember a incidence where people would wrap cats around their shields when battling since both sides didn't want to kill cats.
- churchill 1y agoThe Persian conquest of Egypt under Cambyses. Battle of Pelusium, precisely. >Cambyses captured Pelusium by using a clever strategy. The Egyptians regarded certain animals, especially cats, as being sacred (they had a cat goddess named Bastet), and would not injure them on any account. Polyaenus claims that Cambyses had his men carry the "sacred" animals in front of them to the attack. The Egyptians did not dare to shoot their arrows for fear of wounding the animals, and so Pelusium was stormed successfully.
