Hmmmm....we ARE plumbing the very depths of the burning philosophical questions that have vexed our ancestors for generations.....!

I'd have to say the cat kept coming back from sheer bloody-mindedness, because regardless of what tortures were inflicted upon him, his continued presence ensured that he still had the uper hand!

Theories?
