Pet intelligence wank
The Guardian: Cats outsmarted in psychologist's test.

You can imagine how well this goes with the readers. Besides the predictable flood of pet owner butthurt and anecdotes of clever / stupid cats / dogs / mice / owls, there are plenty of genuinely funny comments as well as a side wank on the validity of test methods and statistics, obligatory calls to talk about world hunger instead or discuss the intelligence of various nationalities, and, naturally, Hitler and his pets make a bonus appearance. I think one could play classical wank bingo in here, but some of the stories make it all worthwhile.

The smaller one, Raven, has decided she's such a lady, the rest of the world needs to open the door FOR her. And if you don't, she'll rip up the carpet underneath it.

I had a cat, Tiger, who would just pull at the bottom of the door if it was closed. This had the effect of ripping off layers of the wood. Had to replace the door eventually because she'd pretty much torn it apart on the bottom corner.

My current cat, Snickers, doesn't open door for himself. Even if the door is just ajar and he'd be perfectly capable of opening it himself by headbutting it or pawing it he'll sit outside and yowl until I open it enough for him to walk through.
