MAN CAT!

Well I've finished up my job as a Mexican. As I rode out on the back of a donkey amid hordes of hat-dancers, flamenco guitarists and people waving maracas, I knew that I had reached the end of a era.

But that's not important now. What is important is the startling problem we face as a human race. Yesterday I was informed that Frankencat watches television. I thought nothing of it, since cats are often attracted to strange lights. But then, during dinner, he started begging for food. I'm aware that this is also typical pet behaviour. My only concern is that he has developed a system for begging, one which involves sitting at one owner's feet for a certain amount of time before moving on to another owner. In other words, he has fallbacks; a Plan B. This is a human concept. Further research has brought me to the conclusion that he is evolving; that he is becoming more and more human. He is becoming some kind of...Cat Man...or.....................................

............................................Man........................................Cat............................

If our pets are taking on our humanly characteristics, then that means we now have competition. The planet may not seem big enough for people to co-exist alongside another intelligent civilisation. But it looks like we're just going to have to share. Our pets are evolving out of domestication and we can't afford to make enemies like Man Cat.
