It is remarkable, in cats, that the outer life they reveal
to their master is one of perpetual confident boredom.
All they betray of the hidden life is by means of symbol;
if it were not for the recurring evidence of murder -

torn squirrels - we should forever imagine our cats to
be simple pets whose highest ambition is to sleep in the
best soft chair, whose worst crime is to sharpen their claws on carpeting
--Robley Wilson, Jr.
