This morning while trying to pet my cat nicely, he decides he would bite my arm a few times. Now tattooed with a teeth marks I retreat to the couch away from the beast. So as I'm looking at him, he looking back at me like a Cheshire cat, I tell him to quit being a jerk (ok, I called him more than a jerk) but he just keeps grinning at me. I ask him "why do you have to be such an ass, I was just trying to pet you". I am talking to this animal like I'm expecting a response which is probably a blog entry by itself. No response of course, so I proceed to say "what's wrong, cat got your tongue?" Now he looks at me like an idiot.
Who would have his tongue then? Do I ask him if a dog has his tongue?
If you curious as a cat, I looked up where that phrase may have derived from:
The phrase probably comes from a custom in the Mideast hundreds of years ago, when it was common to punish a thief by cutting off their right hand, and a liar by ripping out their tongue. These severed body parts were given to the king's pet cats as their daily food.
Have a good day, meow.

Couldn't help but be able to relate to your latest blog. I have had felines that acted that way and I could never understand why except total dominance over me, the stupid, ungrateful human. You never hear of dogs acting like that or any other domesticated animal. No wonder why they were so royal. Little stinkers! We love them anyway and keep coming back for our usual teeth attacks! Have a great day Michel.
