  5. There are some levels at which I find cats to be just a bit creepy. At odd moments, I'll get the feeling that 'the cat' is looking at me like Lunch.

  8. You can see that she's trying extremely hard to recall those genetic memories....I think I might give her a quick cuddle (unlike the lioness).

  15. Wonderful haiku. Their 'genetic memories' must be one attribution to their aristocratic bearing.
