AO2v Explain how a writer writes

• Of course humans have often linked domestic cats
  with witches and the devil. It is to do with the
  way they think. My cat has a fiend of a feline
  mind. She totally understands my predictable homo
  sapien way of thinking, with its sense of fair
  play its honesty, consistency and loyalty. So,
  she plays me for a sucker. One minute she is
  stretching langourously and beautifully on the
  arm of my chair, seducing me into stroking her,
  the next, retching hair-balls and phlegm onto my
  new carpet. One minute, Im the main point in her
  entire world, the next, Im simply forgotten, an
  object in in her way, as she pounces on some poor
  insect or gobbles her bowl of Sheba. Take and no
  give - thats cats for you.
