“Cats are funny. They get embarrassed. They’ll stumble or get stuck or do something silly, and then they’ll straighten up, look about—act like they meant to do that. Even when they don’t think anyone is watching, they’ll put on a little play of competency and grace. I don’t know, maybe they assume someone is always watching. They do have a vain streak. Or maybe cats don’t need a witness to feel embarrassment. Maybe they’re better than us in that way. “Because people...people are shameless. We are different beasts when we think no one is looking. We are strange and frightening things.”
