I have never had the 'Cat state anything, thought a lot of people put words in the feline's mouth.
Speak for it, drag it kicking and screaming but you can't put a lead on a Cat without a huge fight. Some of it's claws are long. And yet when it wants some attention it fair purrrrrrrrs.
The 'Cat is a true feline, fiercely independant and it's own boss. The trolls, flamers and commercial interests (you know who they are) can kick it all they want, it just demonstrates their greed, short-comings &/or lack of potty training. You can't help but notice they are around but if nobody engages they tire easily.

The 'Cat has changed. But change is the only certainty in life. And for those that point-out death is a might certain, I always say: "yea, and as changes go............."
