My cats and horses would disagree with those statements: Mice, voles, birds and deer (yes, deer!) are not nonsense. Grass and alfalfa make perfect gastronomic sense. Humans are providers of warm laps in which to sit, pleasing scratching posts such as tables and sofas, and mildly amusing puzzles like closet doors. Humans are good for scratching those impossible-to-reach places (such as the crest of the neck, or between the jawbones), and are a fairly reliable source of goodies like carrots and molasses treats; the amusement factor in overturning a freshly-loaded manure barrow is not to be discounted! With significant forbearance and perseverance, humans are trainable, although they frequently forget what they have learned. Treated cruelly, humans can turn vicious, and some, sad to say, ought to be returned to the compost heap posthaste. Firmness, patience, vigilance and kindness are the watchwords which must guide one's interactions with these challenging creatures.
