+Oh you men who think or say that I am malevolent, stubborn, or
+misanthropic, how greatly do you wrong me. You do not know the secret
+cause which makes me seem that way to you. From childhood on, my
+heart and soul have been full of the tender feeling of goodwill, and I
+was ever inclined to accomplish great things. But, think that for six
+years now I have been hopelessly afflicted, made worse by senseless
+physicians, from year to year deceived with hopes of improvement,
+finally compelled to face the prospect of a lasting malady (whose cure
+will take years or, perhaps, be impossible). Though born with a
+fiery, active temperament, even susceptible to the diversions of
+society, I was soon compelled to withdraw myself, to live life alone.
+[...] I endured this wretched existence--truly wretched for so
+susceptible a body, which can be thrown by a sudden change from the
+best condition to the very worst.--Patience, they say, is what I must
+now choose for my guide, and I have done so--I hope my determination
+will remain firm to endure until it pleases the inexorable Parcae to
+break the thread. [...] Recommend virtue to your children; it alone,
+not money, can make them happy. I speak from experience; this was
+what upheld me in time of misery. [...] Do not wholly forget me when I
+am dead; I deserve this from you, for during my lifetime I was
+thinking of you often and of ways to make you happy--please be so--

+That night I got a call from my friend, the out-of-print-science-fiction

+address?"
+
+"Yes, and it certainly helped to remember what the great British socialist
+playwright George Bernard Shaw said about this planet."
+
+"Which was?"
+
+"He said, 'I don't know if there are men on the moon, but if there are, they
+must be using the earth as their lunatic asylum.' And he wasn't talking
+about the germs or the elephants. He meant we the people."
+
+"Okay."
+
+"You don't think this is the Lunatic Asylum of the Universe?"
+
+"Kurt, I don't think I expressed an opinion one way of the other."
+
+"We are killing this planet as a life-support system with the poisons from
+all the thermodynamic whoopee we're making with atomic energy and fossil
+fuels, and everybody knows it, and practically nobody cares. This is how
+crazy we are. I think the planet's immune system is trying to get rid of us
+with AIDS and new strains of flu and tuberculosis, and so on. I think the
+planet should get rid of us. We're really awful animals. I mean, that dumb
+Barbra Streisand song, 'People who need people are the luckiest people in
+the world' -- she's talking about cannibals. Lots to eat. Yes, the planet is
+trying to get rid of us, but I think it's too late."
+
+And I said good-bye to my friend, hung up the phone, sat down and wrote this
+epitaph: "The good Earth -- we could have saved it, but we were too damn

+
+ The Naming of Cats is a difficult matter,
+ It isn't just one of your holiday games;
+ You may think at first I'm as mad as a hatter
+ When I tell you, a cat must have THREE DIFFERENT NAMES.
+ First of all, there's the name that the family use daily,
+ Such as Peter, Augustus, Alonzo or James,
+ Such as Victor or Jonathan, George or Bill Bailey--
+ All of them sensible everyday names.
+ There are fancier names if you think they sound sweeter,
+ Some for the gentlemen, some for the dames:
+ Such as Plato, Admetus, Electra, Demeter--
+ But all of them sensible everyday names.
+ But I tell you, a cat needs a name that's particular,
+ A name that's peculiar, and more dignified,
+ Else how can he keep up his tail perpendicular,
+ Or spread out his whiskers, or cherish his pride?
+ Of names of this kind, I can give you a quorum,
+ Such as Munkustrap, Quaxo, or Coricopat,
+ Such as Bombalurina, or else Jellylorum-
+ Names that never belong to more than one cat.
+ But above and beyond there's still one name left over,
+ And that is the name that you never will guess;
+ The name that no human research can discover--
+ But THE CAT HIMSELF KNOWS, and will never confess.
+ When you notice a cat in profound meditation,
+ The reason, I tell you, is always the same:
+ His mind is engaged in a rapt contemplation
+ Of the thought, of the thought, of the thought of his name:
+ His ineffable effable
+ Effanineffable
+ Deep and inscrutable singular Name.

+On August 25, 1983, Leonard Bernstein celebrated his sixty-fifth
+birthday in his birthplace, Lawrence, Massachusetts. He had actually
+lived in the town for only a few weeks as a newborn baby, and had last
+visited it forty-nine years previously, in 1934, to get the name on his
+birth certificate altered from Louis to Leonard. But the citizens of
+Lawrence proposed to dedicate an outdoor theater to him in their
+heritage park and to provide not one but two local orchestras--the
+Merrimack Valley Philharmonic to play excerpts from his own compositions
+and the Greater Boston Youth Symphony and Chorus to perform the "Ode to
+Joy" and accompany Bernstein himself reading (for the only time in his
+life) the text of A Lincoln Portrait. So Bernstein turned down birthday
+invitations from Tanglewood and Central Park, New York, and the
+Hollywood Bowl and drove through the cheering if slightly bewildered
+crowds lining the streets of Lawrence in an open-topped 1928 Ford
+roadster, looking as homespun as James Stewart in Frank Capra's classic,

+How does a cat use its whiskers? The usual answer is that the whiskers
+are feelers that enable a cat to tell whether a gap is wide enough for
+it to squeeze through, but the truth is more complicated and more
+remarkable. In addition to their obvious role as feelers sensitive to
+touch, the whiskers also operate as air-current detectors. As the cat
+moves along in the dark it needs to manoeuvre past solid objects without
+touching them. Each solid object it approaches causes slight eddies in
+the air, minute disturbances in the currents of air movements, and the
+cat's whiskers are so amazingly sensitive that they can read these air
+changes and respond to the presence of solid obstacles even without
+touching them.

+Cats have a way of endearing themselves to their owners, not just by

+but also by their sheer gracefulness. There is an elegance and a

+ As if it had been a Christian soul,
+ We hailed it in God's name.
+
+ It ate the food it ne'er had eat,
+ And round and round it flew.

+
+ And a good south wind sprung up behind;
+ The Albatross did follow,
+ And every day, for food or play,
+ Came to the mariner's hollo!
+
+ In mist or cloud, on mast or shroud,
+ It perched for vespers nine;
+ Whiles all the night, through fog-smoke white,
+ Glimmered the white Moon-shine.'

+
+Cats hate doors. Doors simply do not register in the evolutionary story
+of the cat family. They constantly block patrolling activities and
+prevent cats from exploring their home range and then returning to their
+central, secure base at will. Humans often do not understand that a cat
+needs to make only a brief survey of its territory before returning with
+all the necessary information about the activities of other cats in the
+vicinity. It likes to make these tours of inspection at frequent
+intervals, but does not want to stay outside for very long, unless there
+has been some special and unexpected change in the condition of the
+local feline population.

+The domestic cat is a contradiction. No animal has developed such an
+intimate relationship with mankind, while at the same time demanding and
+getting such independence of movement and action. The dog may be man's
+best friend, but it is rarely allowed out on its own to wander from
+garden to garden or street to street. The obedient dog has to be taken
+for a walk. The headstrong cat walks alone.
