at what point during our evolution did society decide that we are somehow superior to animals? and why? is it because we think we are smarter than animals? is it because we've been to the moon? why?
the other day, t noticed that our cat had some dookie stuck to her fur. so what did we do after freaking out a little bit? t picked her up and i very carefully grabbed the poo with some toilet paper and paper towel and got rid of it. not only that, but i regularly clean her litter box. we brush her. we feed her. we give her treats. we work numerous hours a week to ensure she has a roof over her head. and we're not alone. millions of people across the world do the same things. some even worse.
now if i was looking at a society without using labels and being "a" was providing food, grooming, adoration, and ass cleaning to being "b", i'd certainly identify being "b" as the superior being. am i wrong?

I'm pretty sure Sita the cat has figured out how to get everything she wants out of us.
So really, if you're taking a very small sampling (i.e. you, me, and our cat) then you'd conclude that the cat is the superior being. If, however, you were taking a larger sampling, you might have different results.
But yeah. Our cat is definitely the superior being in our house.
No, no. You are quite right, d. But let us not forget that being "a" also has the power to put being "b" to "sleep" at any point it wants...
A sticking point, perhaps.
They've got us wrapped around their lil paws. and they know it.
i think i should have looked at and responded to these comments earlier. now it just seems like a lot of work. so i'll just assume i know what you said
t - i know. i am amazing.
j - that's very nice of you.
tw - i heard that once before from a homeless guy. he was right so i'm sure you are too.
