Very cute marine moggy! 🙂 I like the way it is just there, sitting in a dignified way, looking down, as though giving serious thought and consideration to many many things. The impression given is that the cat is actually running things, with **Muffin** merely there to do the hard work. 🙂

The cat commanded. I sat back and steered. Janet way up in the bow paddled like hell. It’s the natural order of things.

Dammit, **Cisco** , I was sobbing when I saw that-why did you have to remind me!

Although the bait thing-hmmm…maybe I could show it to Maggie, to warn her when she misbehaves!

Cats LIKE it when you show their kind abused. Very sadistic animals, they are.

So putting a hook through an animal and dragging it until it cannot breathe before killing it and eating it’s flesh is perfectly fine but fishing with cats is fucked up?

Yes.
