i'm learning to cultivate my quiet around cats, and mister is so calm he's helping calm the cats and helping me in my cat dog quietus. he's so wonderful, laying on his corduroy bed while i kiss and burble words to penny walking to and fro on the counter while i make energy tea. i think the natural state is not a war of species but a continuous exploration of peace and harmony. if you would call that naive, i'd say, yes thanks and please, call me.
