Have you ever considered the question, What if my Cat had a Drivers License?
I got a shock while renewing mine last year, when I found out my state DMV would, in fact, actually issue one to a qualifying CAT.
---------------------------------
My Cat, Pounce, travels with me on the truck, all over the country. (Lots of Pics available on our website).
She does like to DRIVE the truck on occasion (she thinks she owns it, after all). Can actually hold it straighter than I can, sometimes. A bit hard to work the pedals, though.....and those claws are rough on a padded steering wheel.
When renewing my license last year, I asked the lady at DMV about getting a Cat licensed to drive. She told me, just as straight as could be, "If she can pass the driving and written tests, we'll issue her a license."
"Really?" I said, quite intrigued by this.
"Yes," she went on, "The law specifies an applicant must be male or female, with a name, and able to pass the tests. It does NOT specify species."
Interesting to know it COULD be done.....though I have yet to get Pounce to put the first pawprint on the written test. (She sees what daddy goes through out here, and therefore knows better!)
A co-driver sure would be handy at times. I can just see it now: I'd set the cruise control, leave her at the wheel, and go to bed. Simple.
But I can also see, just as clearly, partially awaking a while later. The truck is still cruising along, and the Cat is snuggled alongside me in the sleeper, as usual. As I'm drifting off again, warm and contented, a little thought suddenly paralyzes my soul......
"If I'm laying here, and so is the Cat.....WHO IS DRIVING???"
