The TRUE order of events is THIS-----

1. Cat sees an open lap

2. Cat jumps up and decides she is going to OVERTAKE the lap from the dog

3. Dog chomps on her ear or tail (you pick)

4. Cat gets pissed--meows loudly--and jumps down

5. Cat "saunters" over to the dogs bowl and decides she will "fix him" by drinking his water

6. Happy and Gloating, cus the puppy cant jump down, she boasts victory!!!

Oh the joys of a cat, a dog, and NO kids!
