“A computer and a cat are somewhat alike; they both purr, and like to be stroked, and spend a lot of the day motionless. They also have secrets they don’t necessarily share.”

— John Updike

Mark Twain said it: “A cat is more intelligent than people believe, and can be taught any crime.”

Loki more than proves it.  He’s the embodiment of devilish ways.  In fact, I suspect our dearest Sam Clemens didn’t realize the limits of his observation.

To say a cat can be taught any crime is to place upon this feline restraints which he does not respect.  It’s not that Loki can be taught any crime; it’s that Loki is capable of crimes we humans have yet to imagine.  He is, after all, the stunningly beautiful god of mischief.

“Always the cat remains a little beyond the limits we try to set for him in our blind folly.”
