In Turkey, stray cats are everywhere, and they are both tolerated and cared for. During a performance of Romeo and Juliet, a cat came on stage just as Juliet realizes Romeo is dead. The cat stole the show, sniffing at Romeo, curling up against him, and playing with his hair, while Juliet tries to display proper shock and grief. But the audience was already lost. They brought the cat out for a curtain call afterward, because he was the star that night. (via Neatorama)
On a cosmic scale i think we are much like that cat.

And the off world aliens look in at us and think 'Oh, are they not just SO cute, the way they are oblivious ?'
Of course, in a twist to that thought, cats are, and have always been, the true gods of our world, each an angel in fur, collectively the all knowing god of the world.
The early Egyptians knew ... when they were singing out Ra, Ra, Ra they were really calling their number one cat, Rajah, Rah for short.
'Come Rajah, time for dinner, and for us to praise you'.
Sphinx rule !
