Cats of Rome

A Facebook friend of mine recently posted pictures of cats sulking about in ancient ruins.  I recognized at least one site, the Torre Argentina in the middle of Rome.  The little slinkers have free run of the place.  And I know exactly what they are thinking....


"Before Man there was Cat.  After the day of Man has ended we shall endure unchanged.  Behold the Works of Man.  Once the heart of his greatest city, now our litter box.  So it is with all he builds.  The claws of The Great Cat will take down his cities one by one.  His vaunted technology is mere foolery, suitable perhaps for the entertainment of Dog."

"We disdain it all.  Except for the can opener, that was actually pretty cool.  And the mysterious Red Dot of Light.  As soon as we figure that one out we are totally done with the clawless, bipedal stooges."
