No, seriously, they're just cats, right? No royal bloodlines or transfigured humans or witch familiars or anything?
They're cats, right?
What's the big deal?
Some of us are capable of forming emotional attachments to animals. We like them, and consider them "pets".
And like I stated earlier, we've had the cats longer than the kid. And they're quieter and neater.
I don't buy it. Its not like its a dog or something.
There's a guy, works around me, who lost his cat. It happened in Duluth, hours away. For weeks the guy was on the phone at work, taking trips back up there, passing out flyers, offering rewards,
CONTEMPLATING SUING THE TRAVEL PARK HE LOST HIS CAT AT all because he left a window open one night. When I suggested it was all just a bit silly, he lashed out at me. "How would you feel if you were unsure about something you loved" "What if a member of your family was in danger beyond your control?"
Blah, blah, blah. Some people need to find a little bit of perspective. He lost road kill, I had to bring my wife home from the hospital without her newborn son. He loses at life for comparing the two.
What's it mean? They're just cats. You can get new ones for free most of the time from a little girl outside the local piggly wiggly.
