Cats have special Karma...! When they are "chotta billy" (young cats) they  play and live the world of illusions.... When they get older they get enlightened and meditate (er.. Sleep) a lot... :-)

Mangooses on the other hand are quite extraordinary, as you can "see" them think and even sometimes, smile of the good joke they pulled upon you !
