CATS.

CATS.
CAT; A three letter word with a lot of meaning. Perhaps the most prolific household pet you might say? I mean where would we be without the likes of Bagpuss, Top Cat, and Tigger? That's right, the more you think and ponder, the cat species dominates more of our television screens than you might have originally thought.

It all started in Egypt you see, they loved cats; infatuated by them in fact, so much so that they even worshipped them as Gods! Imagine that; you're very own little Smudge or Fluffy being worshipped as the almighty! The thought is ridiculous and as time passed the cat worshippers of Egypt soon became far and few between, and before long cats became ordinary again. Or so it seemed...

Had we really forgotten our former furry friends? Did we leave them behind? Well I think not, just look at the evidence - 3 out of 5 people in the UK claim to own a cat; this figure is a surprising one considering the well known affiliation between dog and Man, nevertheless, the evidence stands bold.

So you see, we never really stopped worshipping our seemingly innocent feline friends - they just tricked us into believing we had. They gave us just enough rope; we built houses, provided cat food and the like and when they were satisfied, they pounced! With their piercing eyes and pointy ears they began the intrusion and thus entered the new (and in truth the only ever real) Man's best friend.
