Why Cats Hate Mice

This short story may be of as a form of inspiration to some of you writing the feline manifesto:

Once upon a time, some while ago, there was a village. And in this village lived cats and dogs. The two creatures did not get along, much like the houses of Capulet and Montague in Romeo and Juliet. The dogs would always chastise and harass the cats. Cats being weaker, had no choice. So one day, a brave cat comes up and says, hey, cut it out. Accompanying his bold statement, a truce was written up. "No more racial profiling...we were all created equal animals" and all that sort of sweet talk. So the dogs were like aight, sounds good. The whole village decided to hide the truce in a sack of grain in a warehouse to be hidden safely. All was well, all was dandy. Time passed and everyone forgot about the truce, but the peace was still in effect. Then one day, a dog returning home to the village, starts pounding on a cat's face. News gets out and everyone is furious. "To the warehouse!" cried a fellow cat. So all the cats and all the dogs visit the warehouse to where the truce is stored. But when the crowd reach the sack of grain, they find that mice have eaten their why through to the written truce. The dogs are happy and start terrorizing the cats once again. From that day on, all dogs kept on hating cats, and all cats hated mice.

The End.
