staff."

Hi Sonny,------
Ah yes, cats do "own their place" and do as they please.
I think of the cats I have known as benevolent dictators, leading lives
of their own making; I did not own them, they owned me, chiefly as a
source of food.
There is a theory that cats first became domesticated in Mesopotamia
when agriculture developed and grain was first stored, which attracted
rodents like rats and mice.
Wild cats took up at the grain storage sites for easy sources of food
and became residents in the farmer's abodes.
They had no reason to attach themselves to the farmers, as dogs did,
hence their Independence and even stand-off-ish behavior.
It is a good story which cannot be proved, but it is still a good story.
My best to you and your house supervisor Sasha. I understand completely.
Bill

wide eye deadpan look is her trademark, and if you've seen other
images, you might agree. Of course in this shot her irises are almost
full open as the light level is so low.
