I would say you've hit on something here. Our cats have always had a selfish mind of their own, regardless of how much we train them.

So let me get this straight. You are saying that dogs are the slavish followers of the authoritarian figure, while cats are the free thinking members of what they would consider a democracy.
Is that why most dogs serve no purpose other than to stroke the ego of the owner, while any worthwhile cat earns its living by destroying vermin?
Are you one of those communists Glen Beck keeps crying over?

The idea of the sacred is quite simply one of the most conservative notions in any culture, because it seeks to turn other ideas - uncertainty, progress, change - into crimes.

This rudderless world is not shaped by vague metaphysical forces. It is not God who kills the children. Not fate that butchers them or destiny that feeds them to the dogs. It’s us. Only us. - the character Rorschach in Watchmen
