Miaooow there, Keogh fans.
Thousands of years of domestication and dogs still don't dig a hole before going to a toilet, yet they'll bury a bone.
How weird is that?
This is yet more proof cats are more intelligent, certainly more logical, than man's best friend. It's not stupidity that prevents us from retrieving sticks - it's intelligence: we're bright enough to know the bloke who flung the stick in the first place, is only going to chuck it again if we brought it back.
Why are there no dancing cats on Britain's Got Talent, you may ask?
Because we don't want to disco-dance with humans, not without getting paid for it, anyway. That's why you don't find moggies in night clubs.
Humans have a very strange way of measuring animals' IQs. Dogs are clever because they can be taught to sit down when ordered, yet no one has bothered to teach them to bury their own excrement.
How weird is that?
If dogs are so clever, why do they needed to be taken for walks. We manage that unaided.
Cats couldn't buy the kind of positive PR that has come from the whole dog fouling row. We're clean, we don't leave little presents on public open space and you don't need to poop-scoop after us.
Admittedly, dogs don't cough-up fur balls, which is a good job. Can you image the mess an Afghan hound would make?
We're cleaner, less trouble and don't attack postmen. What's more, we've got nine lives.
Only one living thing has more lives than a cat, and that's a frog. Probably because he croaks every night.
