Nah.

My cats don’t want to kill me.

Cats may appear warm and cuddly on the outside but their fluffy appearance may be masking more sinister feelings on the inside.

A new study suggests the felines we share our homes with are neurotic and, wait for it, could even be working out how to bump us off.

They lack opposable thumbs. Being intelligent coves, they realise that someone has to be around to open the tins.

Each had three dominant personality types, with the domestic cat showing traits of neuroticism, dominance and impulsiveness.

It took research to figure this out?

  1. Just like humans they have different personalities. Some of our cats have been malicious but mainly towards birds and rodents. One of our current cats is so laid back that she literally wouldn’t hurt a fly, too much effort. I presume that if we weren’t there to feed her she would have to learn to kill for food but it wouldn’t surprise me if she just starved to death instead. As for plotting my demise, I rather doubt it.

  2. My cats just dab at me – very occasionally with claws out – only when necessary to remind me of my place, or to let me know I’m neglecting my duties. Otherwise, they’re loving and affectionate.

    Of course they have different personalities; they’re all individuals but each one is aware that they’re the superior life form and we are there to serve them and minister to their needs and wants.
