A cat's sense of authority.

This picture shows my roommate’s cat, Ollie, in my room standing on my

homework. When I took this picture I was sitting on the floor in the middle

of studying when he appears out of nowhere and decides to stand on my

homework. This is interesting because he is inconveniencing me but doesn’t

care. Of course, Ollie is of a different species and cannot speak any

language us humans do. Cats, like humans, have a hierarchy. For that reason

I am sure he must think he is of utmost importance and higher social

status. By standing on my homework he has placed himself above me. Not only

that, but my roommate is the main “owner” of the apartment, and he must

sense that within the home, I live under her authority--by extension, his

own.
