Once my pet cat Kitty Cat came home and asked me a few general knowledge questions. I couldn't answer any of these questions, so I asked her why she was asking me these questions. She said that her friend Mani Mao (from the name it seems she is chinese) had told her that day that cats are more intelligent than human beings and if she wanted to verify this, then she should ask some general knowledge questions to her master and see if he is able to answer them. I was a bit annoyed to hear this and told Kitty Cat that it was the opposite - that human beings are more intelligent and cats are not as intelligent as human beings. But she was not willing to accept this. So I decided to prove it to her.....

Now I have a niece who is very fond of dolls. No matter how many dolls she has, she always wants some more. And every day, she carries out a 1 hour crying session to inform others that she wants more dolls. At the time I was having the above argument with Kitty Cat as to who is more intelligent, my niece's crying-for-dolls session was in progress. So I came up with an idea. I told Kitty Cat that if she can make my niece stop crying, then it will be proved that cats are more intelligent than human beings. And to help Kitty Cat in this, I gave her a hint that my niece was crying for chocolates and if someone can bring her some chocolates, then she will stop crying. So saying, I also gave Kitty Cat some money and the address of a shop called 'Chocolate Bazaar' and asked her to bring some chocolates from that shop for my niece. I even asked her to take along her friend Mani Mao for this mission impossible. Now firstly, there is no shop by that name so Kitty Cat and Mani Mao would never find it at the given address. Secondly, the notes I had given her were made of plastic used by children for playing. So even if they went to some other shop, the shopkeeper would not accept those notes and would not give them any chocolates. Thirdly, even if the shopkeeper by mistake accepted the plastic currency notes and gave them the chocolates, my niece would not stop crying because she was actually crying for dolls and not for chocolates. So there was very little chance that Kitty Cat would be able to make my niece stop crying. And thus it would be proved that cats are not as intelligent as human beings. But.....

But instead of going to the shop, Kitty Cat first returned the plastic currency notes back to me. Then she gave me some real currency notes that she had with her and asked me to 'keep the change'. Next she called up Mani Mao on her mobile and asked her to search for some dolls on the internet and send them as attachments to her email id. She also asked Mani Mao to send her an SMS after sending the mail. After receiving the SMS, Kitty Cat herself logged on to the internet and from her mailbox downloaded the dolls sent by Mani Mao (it seems she is not chinese, but japanese because only japanese cats can think of such fancy ideas). Finally Kitty Cat showed the downloaded pictures of dolls to my niece who got so busy in watching them that she forgot crying. And Thus.....

And Thus I successfully proved that cats are lazy and not as hard working as human beings. Here is a photo of lazy Kitty Cat logging on to her PC for downloading the dolls :

And here is a photo of her friend Mani Mao searching the net for dolls :



And here are the dolls that she downloaded from the net which proved that cats are lazy and not as hard working as human beings :
