“A person has other concerns, but at each moment in its life, a cat has only one concern. This is what gives it such perfect balance, and this is why the spectacle of a confused or frightened cat upsets us: we feel both pity and the desire to laugh. It faces the source of danger or confusion and its only recourse is to spit a foul breath out between its mottled gums.” — Lydia Davis, “The Cats in the Prison Recreation Hall”

I love watching animals make decisions –as they so clearly do.
I’m glad my cats have never decided to take hostages and issue demands.
My dog is a punisher. She catches flies like a cat and hides our shoes when we leave her. I’m glad she doesn’t have a law degree.
If she had a law degree she’d be pulling the wings off the flies and subleasing your shoes.
Instead she snoozing in the sun with a rawhide chew. ah the one percent. They are animals.

Sorry about that.
