Cats are not as dim as the sim... Splinter.

Two things that cats have over dogs,
  1. Dogs, you cannot,                                                             
  2. A dog will bark incessantly and eventually annoy the bjesus outta you... while a cat can chase that critter up the tree and sic em... well, all but those "pussy" cats.

If your first cut is too short... Take the second cut from the longer end... LBD
