So you've decided to get yourself a human being. In doing so, you've joined the
millions of other cats who have acquired these strange and often frustrating creatures.
There will be any number of times, during the course of your association with humans, when
you will wonder why you have bothered to grace them with your presence.
What's so great about humans, anyway? Why not just hang around with other cats? Our
greatest philosophers have struggled with this question for centuries, but the answer is
actually rather simple: THEY HAVE OPPOSABLE THUMBS.
Which makes them the perfect tools for such tasks as opening doors, getting the lids off
of cat food cans, changing television stations and other activities that we, despite our
other obvious advantages, find difficult to do ourselves. True, chimps, orangutans and
lemurs also have opposable thumbs, but they are nowhere as easy to train.
