Well, implicit in the design and use of vacuum cleaners is the illegalization of dust (and dander, I suppose). Is this not so? A futile enterprise...not to mention anti-entropic and therefore (transiently) opposed to the long-term destiny of the Universe. The irresistable journey of dust to dust. This sort of pointless "domestic" behavior is emblematic of H. not-so-sapiens, like bowling and golf and drinking Perrier.

Wow. You are so right! We never thought it all the way through... (What is golf?)
Well, it's very hard to explain an irrational activity such as golf to a quintessentialy rational being such as a kitten. But here goes...golf is when H. not-so-sapiens enslave vast, diverse and undulating terrrains of woods, savannas and lakes - once festooned with life - into toxic, manicured, monocultures of cringing grasses that are as boring as an unsoiled litter pan. Then a few carerully chosen H. n-s-s are paid millions of dollars to use sticks to tap little pocked spheres into tiny holes that have been punched into this neutered (oops! sorry) terrain, while the not-so-priveleged H. n-s-s - filled with admiration for these idiot savants - either cheer from the sidelines, or worse, watch the events on TV. Scary, huh?
Oh,,,and don't worry about typos. They're just part of life. Without these little mistakes, there would have been no evolution of Cyanobacteria into kittens (or Tiger Woods, for that matter).
Golf! We had no idea!! And to think that our human calls US plant-abusers just because we chew on leaves and break pots once in a while...!!!
About evolution - wasn't the genus panthera - BUT ONLY the genus panthera - created by intelligent design??
No way. Think about it: Anything that scent-marks its domain with its own urine and relishes eating bandicoots could never have been created by an intelligent designer.
Do bandicoots taste anything like Fancy Feast??
No, they are tastier - and a lot fresher (unless, of course, they are slum-dwelling bandicoots).
This is Karandasha signing off...I'm headed to other adventures in other sectors of space and time...goodbye lizzy.
Bye, Karandasha -
Happy wanderings --
We get to wander, too - sometimes from the basement to the attic! but not always --
Have fun! Thanks for the enlightment!! Golf! Ugh!!!
