I'll kick off the discussion with a few of my thoughts! I think for cats to truly rule the world, they would have mind control abilities, and humans would be especially susceptible to these powers. The cats would also have the cognitive capabilities of humans and understand in order for their world domination to work, the scheme would need to go unnoticed. The humans would need to think everything was normal and that they controlled the cats, when in reality, the cats were in control the entire time. Anyone else have thoughts on how a feline-ruled society might play out?

I am suspicious that the are already so close to taking over the world.

They manage to freeze me in place without a word and I must become a lap/bed for hours at a time, lest I feel guilty for not letting them be comfortable.

I am also the main chin-scratcher and once a cat has put me in a cat-lock (Plopped down on my chest) am not allowed to free up my hands until their demands are met.

The only thing stopping them is doors.

And possibly a written language for the secret-meeting notetaker.

I'm with Angela on this, they are almost there. The second they can open any door I'm headed to the dog planet!

OMG, one of my cats is soooo close to being able to open doors (handle-style, not knobs). I know he understand how they work...he just hasn't quite figured out how to open them himself!
