(It's in the shop. He should not be there...but we let him. Why? Dunno)




Cats have a way of always having been there even if they've just arrived.
They move in their own personal time. They act as if the human world
is one they just happened to have stopped off in, on their way to
somewhere that is possibly a whole lot more interesting.
...
What animal gets fed, not because it's useful or guards the house,
or sings, but because when it does get fed it looks pleased? And purrs.
The purr is very important. It's the purr that does it everytime.
...
Cats learned to evolve in a world designed initially by nature but
in practice by humans, and have got damned good at it. The purr means
"make me happy and I'll make you happy".
The advertising industry took centuries to cotton on to that beguiling
truth, but when it did, it sold a awful lot of Cabbage Patch dolls.
You've got to hand it to the real cats.
If you don't, they wait until your back is turned and take it anyway.
