I say that you can absolutely predict what a cat will do - the complete opposite of what you want them to do. The end result is that you behave like a crazy person trying to outsmart a creature with a brain the size of a walnut.
For example, consider the case of the snaggle-toothed furgirl:
- Try to pet the kitty; the kitty will run away.
- Try to get the kitty to open its mouth; discover that kitties can clamp their jaws tighter than a crocodile
- Set up a cat crate in the laundry room behind closed doors; the kitty will refuse to walk within 20 feet of that door.
- Speak in normal tones to the kitty; the kitty will hide under the bed.
- Catch the kitty and put it in the cat crate; the kitty will bump its head and paws around the opening until it figures out how to open the crate.
- Speak in soothing tones to the kitty on the drive to the vet; the kitty will reward you with blood-curdling yowls and complaints.
- Arrive at the vet and describe the snaggle-tooth situation; open the cat crate and discover that the kitty's efforts to open the cat crate dislodged the tooth - making the vet visit largely pointless.
- Apologize to the kitty; ensure evil looks for all your efforts.
Oh she looks mad ...
