What does your vet have to say about "non-pet people"? Cool

Nobody's got a theory about people who don't own pets. It's just the cat ladies who are the interesting phenomenon. (At least within the range of people who pass for normal. I won't get into the pit bull owners or wolf dog breeders.) I actually believe the vet's theory about cat ladies, because everyone I know who has three or more cats fits that profile.

Quote:
On submitting to the infinite, you realize the power of submission.


(Keeping God per se out of the concept for the moment,) this hortatory utterance suggests to me that by fully realizing and accepting the existence of an infinite, eternal universe around us, the existential horror of it all is allayed, and we can go back to the quotidian pleasures of keeping cats and eating yoghurt.

... which sort of matches what you said, Tom.

Cute term Laughing ! I think I'll adopt it. It sounds friendlier than 'fluff' and my relationship with these highly reproductive 'critters' (thanks for this one, too!) might improve a bit.

Well done, MM! If that isn’t a demonstration of high-register language (I hope I’ve used the correct term)! And what a magnificent statement, too!

(Sorry for all the exclamatory utterances.)
