If ever you need to prove to a dog lover that cats can easily put a dog in their place, and heck, even manipulate them into doing their bidding, then look no further than this scandalous story.

For us cat lovers, it is not a massive surprise to hear that another cat has managed to convince a dog into doing their evil bidding for them. It is part and parcel of the contract that we sign when we sign up to love cats for life lest we wish to feel the sharp point of their claws around our necks.

But what is especially surprising about the cat from this story is that they have managed to turn a multi-pound pup who usually strikes fear into the hearts of those who wrong him, into a puddle of fur that can be manipulated with the twist of a paw. We are talking about true evil genius cat smarts, and we are not sure how we feel about it… what if they use their powers against us hoomans one day… what if they already have and we just do not now it, like this dog…

  • Erugh, this sassy cat child is already rubbing us the wrong way. We know of this behavior all too well unfortunately and it is a maddening one. Your cat will choose to be the most annoying that they can possibly be. Sometimes it is by singing the songs of their people, as this cat chose. Other times it can be randomly screaming, or climbing very loudly somewhere where they shouldn’t. Whatever the act is, it is incredibly annoying and they know it is annoying to us. They do this to capture our attention and hold it hostage. Once they are satisfied that is the case they will then beg for food as though they are the hungriest child in the world. Only to then walk away, just walk away. Oh the humanity of it.

  • And this is yet another way that cats pick up their wretched reputation. Turning some of the most fearsome creatures, animals that have been used to strike fear into the hearts of other hoomans for centuries, into scared piles of fur that are no more able to stand up for themselves than a fish. All the while the ‘innocent’ cat pretends that they are just playing with the dog and that it is no big deal. And unfortunately for this dog in pawticular, he is victim to one of the more evil felines to walk the planet and he will be used to carry out this cat’s evil plan…
