@Dread Pirate (Tom) Roberts btw, on a completely related tangent
when putting a cat in a carrier the honorable thing to do is to also put your right hand close to their mouth so that they can bite on it if you deceive them and, for example, bring them to the vet, right?
and the fact that cat owners still have right hands is because cat mouths are small and they are able to bite off the whole hand, right?
