This just seems so quintessentially British, it made me smile. I bet Larry has seen some things in his time.

The Wikipedia article is obviously in error. It’s clear to me that the government serves Larry and at his convenience.

You are correct. As anyone who has lived with a cat knows, you do not own the cat, the cat owns you.

Dogs have owners. Cats have staff.

One 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.

Pratchett, characterising cats, said: "In ancient times cats were worshipped as gods. They have not forgotten this."
