And what country can preserve its liberties if their rulers are not warned from time to time that their people preserve the spirit of resistance? Let them take arms. The remedy is to set them right as to facts, pardon and pacify them. What signify a few lives lost in a century or two? The tree of liberty must be refreshed from time to time with the blood of patriots and tyrants.
cats are the originators of the "low attention span theater". they have no memory and are incapable of connecting actions with results. cats rely on instinct to survive. cats go thru life not knowing why the dog gets upset when the claws do come out and the ear tag game gets boisterous. cats don't know where the little red laser spot on the floor comes from, they only know it must taste good and they must catch it. cats are no ones friend unless there is tuna. cats invented the cat-a-pult so that they may catch bats. cats communicate with each other when humans aren't around. cats live short but relatively happy lives. cats sleep more than 22 hours a day just to keep out of trouble. were I to believe in reincarnation, I would want to be a cat.
Once upon a time, my sister had a kitten that would tease their German shepherd. The kitten would pounce on the dog, preferably its head, and run away. The dog would chase it, catch it, and carry the kitten around the house in its mouth. Punishment for pouncing, one slobbered up kitten.
They both seemed to enjoy it. But the first time I saw the pounce and chase and the kitten in the dog's mouth, I thought the kitten was a goner.
No sweat claws retracted.

ReplyDeleteProbably why so many people love cats...they can identify with them.
