As nefarious as the cat. Ramona, my cat, never plotted anything past her ongoing exploration of my bedroom, and getting me to give her things to stalk and pounce on. And, naturally, the slow demolition of the ottoman she loved to scratch.
Cats are always like “whatever”.
@de stijl:
She looks to be plotting an attack on the weird moving shadows and lights currently invading the ceiling.
@Kathy: In my experience, pretty much any time a cat is awake it is plotting something. How nefarious that plot is depends on the cat.
@Jon:
@Kathy:
The plots never go anywhere.
Napping is the prime impetus.
I love it when they give us the look that says they think we are idiots.
@Jon:
Of course. That’s what cats do.

Cats have busy lives.
@Kathy:
Scritches from me to Ramona when she is amenable.
@de stijl:
Alas, a cat may lead a busy life but not a long one.
