Explaining the Long Division
Have you ever had the chance to look around Macavity's office? I have, it's not what you would expect. For one thing, there's a chalkboard on the wall. It's one of his hobbies, Math, that is. He spends hours doing long division, he doesn't even bother with a calculator. I suppose it's good for his business as well, saves the hassle of an accountant. I know the real reason he loves Math so much though, it's more than just a hobby. It all started a few years back when Macavity was a kitten.
It wasn't just the mice and cockroaches that Jennyanydots educated. She took the time to teach the kittens a few things. Believe it or not, Macavity was one of her best students. That kit loved to learn, maybe he still does. He never missed a lesson, he was very clever as well. He still is. His favourite was Math, as I've said. You might be asking, what use does a cat have for numbers?
Cat's are a lot smarter than the humans give us credit for, you know. However, that's besides the point. Macavity loved his lessons, and he decided that he was going to be a teacher, just like Jennyanydots. That was his first career choice. Perhaps, if things had turned out differently, he would have. Of course, as we all know, he ended up the leader of a large feline crime organisation, but he never gave up the Math.
I have heard rumours that he once tried to teach some of his henchcats, but they're more brawn than brains so it didn't work out so well. He's also been known to use it as an alibi, because he's a lot faster than anyone thinks when it comes to long division. He can produce ten pages of it in five minutes, but to most cats this would take a day. Instant alibi, or almost instant anway.
I'll bet you'd never have guessed that the Napoleon of Crime is a closet academic. Just don't let him near the chemistry lab.
