My cat has yet to master this technique - rather than embedding an annoying cry in his purr, he just meows annoyingly. And if you try to walk away from the food bowl without feeding him, he bites your feet.

Cats Are Manipulative Psychopaths
Cats are basically bastards that exploit us by purring annoyingly when they want us to do something, according to researchers. Apparantly, when they're trying to get food, a cat's purr contains more high-frequency, cry-like sounds, which make it irritating. The paper's in Current Biology.

funny, my boyfriend hates being manipulated, and probably not coincidentally doesn't like cats.
I remember in a discussion on morality and evolution, someone bringing up the point that morality to a cat would be completely different than morality to a person. I don't remember the full discussion, but the point was basically along the same lines as yours... Of course, what it really boils down to is this picture.
Morality to a cat would be very different, yes. And instead of porn, they would spend their time looking at movies of rapidly moving objects.

My cat has mastered the art of leaping on and off my computer keyboard whenever he thinks it's time for me to get off the internet and feed him.

Not even "failure to feed." Rather doesn't like the particular brand of food. Our 14 year old cat doesn't bite feet. It simply goes to another member of family when it doesn't approve of the brand of food (approval of brands varies with time). The next family member recognizes the behavior and uses the incident to castigate his/her brother, sister, father, mother, husband, wife for insensitivity. These cats domesticated humans long ago.
I've been reading this blog and I think you are doing the best contribution in this issues. I hope you keep up with this project. Seriously, I really liked what you did here. 23jj
This is really truth because I have cat at home, and he gets in my house just when he wants to eat, they're really imaginative and intelligent.
Cats have a really nice loyalty and they don't demand ur attention liike dogs,they are independant always clean,and stroking them reduces human blood pressure and aids relaxation!
