Not sure about amazing (though the landing trick is pretty cool) but instructive.

For example, I had been told as a child that humans were the only animals that killed for sport. Yeah right. You don't have to spend decades with chimps to know that's a load of hogwash. And why kill straightaway when you can do a little light torturing first?

Evil little buggers. It occurred to me once that James Bond may have got it horribly wrong. Blofeld was being stroked by his pet not the other way around.

I'm not sure what it says about humans that we keep these vicious and sadistic predatory killers around for petting and general entertainment.

And I say that as someone who likes cats.

The whole fluffy, purr machine gig is a ploy to lead you into a false sense of security. Evil and cunning.

Well we keep humans around too and they are at least as wicked :)

They are sometimes cuddly. I think that's what it is.
