but this was cute! It is crazy how stress relieving dogs and cats are to humans. I couldn't imagine life without my little doggie.

Funny, but dogs are better and smarter by most measures that we actually use to measure intelligence.

Cat love has to be earned.

Dog love is given for little reason. It's all "Yeah Boss! What now, Boss? Let's go, Boss!"

I should also add that;

Life is a marathon, not a race. It is about getting there, not when or how you get there.

my cat looks at me contemptuously with an expression that clearly states, "are you fucking kidding?"

Ok, some cats will chase those things.

But I live with a kitty Einstein, who like his daddy believes in economy of movement.

He's like, "yes, the flashing thing. It's not there. I get it. Go get me a real toy. Moron."

it's just that, when he feels like it, he might write a bemused bon mot or two on that page!

He's very very loving, though. But he's absurdly smart and when I've employed a ruse that is beneath him, he likes to make that clear.

Birds are above ALL that. When has a cat or a dog said "I love you!" or thrown you a kiss across the room?

Please, no one assail me with some half-howling mutt going "Au Wuh Woo - Au Whu Woo" That would be as lame as a 3-legged cat.
