The dog, of course. It doesn't have any delusions :-)

...besides, the latest cat I saw spent five minutes chasing its own tail
around the leg of a table. That one at least didn't display any signs of
"vastly superior intelligence" whatsoever...

Ah! A deep cover mole...

When I first played FT, we were playing on the floor of a rec room -
great
big space, it was wonderful - and we used tin foil balls for asteroids.
Given that we were playing in a two-cat household, our first ever house
rule was, "If a cat rearranges the playing area on us, the rearrangement
stands!"

They batted the asteroids around a couple of times, but never went after the
ships.

And so Brian discovers an effective method for in game asteroid movement.

P.S. What would Giant Space Cat stats be like?

That cat was playing. I thought playing and gaming was a sign of vastly
superior intelligence?

And it would be obligatory, which means your investment in tailless Manx cats
is now worthless.

True, but the tail would get an agility save, so the cat would probably keep
fruitlessly chasing it's tail until it realized it was operation with a
useless set of rules!

At which point it would change rulesets, like any intelligent being...
