| "It is easy to understand why the cat has eclipsed the dog as modern
America"s favorite pet. People like pets to possess the same qualities
they do. Cats are irresponsible and recognize no authority, yet are
completely dependent on others for their material needs. Cats cannot be
made to do anything useful. Cats are mean for the fun of it. In fact, cats
possess so many of the same qualities as some people that it is often hard
to tell the people and the cats apart." | |

matter."" | |
