    You make it sound like only the cat benefits from the arrangement, but the cat understands his or her responsibilities of granting pats, scratches, and possibly even belly rubs for good caretakers.

        Well, it’s not like you were going to catch it yourself. The cat just knew if he didn’t give you half his rat you’d die of starvation.
