Cats do care about current events (when it concerns their revered ancestors)

When I'm working at my desk Haley likes to sit in the purple basket of the desk behind me, leaving the bed to Minion. I don't always hear Minion's attacks on Haley cause I have my headphones on, so I turned around just now to see/hear Haley growling out of the room, and Minion sitting in the box with a saucy look on her face.

Me: "Did you just take that box?"
Minion: "Certainly looks like it."


But she does have a softer side. Earlier today I was telling Minion about Egypt--cats care A LOT about Egypt, of course--and how we'd better say a little prayer that things don't turn violent, and I looked down and she was right on her prayer mat.

"Which way is FeliMecca?"
