How a cat is like a psychotic roommate

nodogsonbeach is not a cat person, so I will note that the psychotic roommates are covered with soft a/nd/or silky fur, and they purr. This is very unfair.

Nitpick: cats are prey as well as predators, or at least that's the explanation I've heard of why they tend to hide if they're lost. (This is from a book about using search dogs to find lost animals.)

As a data point, Perse would tend to hide under the nearest car if she got out of the house.

I agree that I'm also the cats' psychotic roommate.

Virtually every creature is predator as well as prey; however, the traits that nodogsonbeach was describing as "psychotic" were primarily predator traits.

I'm sure Perse would hide under a car if she ended up outside; Sugar has done that too. Again, that's not incompatible with their "predator" side.
