Of course, it would say there's no evidence. Next, it'll be calling us catspiracy theorists.

don't make me call the cats in black to erase your memory, miss margaret.

Forgive me, Señor Gatito. I shan’t say such silly things again.

Now if you’ll excuse me, I need to feed our cats.

This is far into stupid question territory, but what is the AI thing you typed the statement in to in the first place? 😬🤦‍♀️🤷‍♀️

THE ABSENCE OF EVIDENCE IS NOT EVIDENCE OF ABSENCE

You are, in the words of James Evan Pilato, a "Spoiler Alertist."

Hmmmm...Seems likely to me since as we all know, dogs have masters, but cats have staff.

Expand full comment

Yeah my dogs are staff to our cat as well as us mere humans. She literally sleeps on them and they are just fine with it.

Did they ever have a choice?

Cats always rule.

I wish I could see that

silly gato... cats already rule the world and always have!

shhhush! it’s a secret 🙀

Only to the non-kitty people! Poor things!!

1 Cats are secretive by nature and experts in clawdestine operations

2 Cats rule the world

Ergo There is no evidence that cats rule the world.

Now, if I saw evidence that suggested that cats rule the world THEN I would conclude it was a frame job. D--n Russians

Well cats have ruled my world for going on sixty years (and I believe even before that, I just didn’t know). So collectively, the humans that know plus those that are destined to find out equals cats rule the world.

I was allowed to choose a Siamese kitten from a litter our neighbors had. I wasn't quite three and I have been hooked ever since. We had a large family dog, but that kitty owned me his whole life. He still owns me and that was over 60 years ago.

Should it bother me that I understood that?

Obviously, anyone who lives with cats, KNOWS who rules the world! 😼

They're not picking up your poop, right?

Lol. Gross. Sorry

Expand full comment

That's misinformation, Gato. They rule it blatantly. Nothing secret about it, whatsoever.

Expand full comment

Clever use of words. It uses the present tense hiding the fact that cats once secretly ruled the world.

"Once"?

Too bad insousciant is an adjective. I'd love to list it as one if my pronouns or as part of my social media profile, as in "recovering insousciant"...in an effort to stave off the black cat squad, of course.

Expand full comment

Well you already can--'the adjective used in place of a substantive becomes a substantive' i.e., the poor will be with you always (also their nemeses Soros, Gates, Schwab et alii)

Expand full comment

This comment is precisely why I like Substack. Look for "recovering insouscient" in a social media profile near you soon!

PS: Can we somehow make Soros, Gates, and Schwab into "recovering philanthropaths"?

Expand full comment

“Recovering pathological narcissistic egomaniacal philanthropists”...there I fixed it.

Expand full comment

hahahahaha....character limitations aside when editing a profile, you nailed it.

Philanthropaths ? Love it

Yeah. I stole it from someone. Can't remember who but she was on Substack. Full(ish) disclosure.

Expand full comment

I’m stealing it too!

It’s Margaret Anna Alice

and she wants you to steal - and spread widely!

Anyone has complete freedom to use an adjective as a noun (it's called substantive use of an adjective) so I see no reason you can't choose insouciant as one of your pronouns. Works at least as well as zee, zim, zis and at least it means something. 😊

Expand full comment

You now identify adjectives as fluid capable of being adjectives, nouns,pronouns,adverbs,and hell...also conjunctions( I remember my Schoolhouse Rock 5 decades later 🤣)

Helping the cause! Now go out into that world ,you insouciant thing,you!

It's like that isn't it? After I dropped out of school, about 22 years ago now, I had to go back to my mom's and was sort of in the deepest depths of failure. It was winter and I would sit alone outside stewing on my failures.

It started to change when I saw someone more miserable than me. This independent, scrappy little domestic short-haired, almost exactly like the one in your picture, hunting and living and freezing in the snow. I saw her a couple of times and she started to get used to me and let me pet her. And I would put her in my jacket. I had always been a total loner until I met Catcat, my very creative name for her, but she and I learned that two self reliant, miserable people can take a lot of comfort being miserable together. I watched that tiny cat take care of the other cats in the neighborhood who weren't as strong or smart or tough as her. I watched her back down a dog who must have been 8 or 10 times her size when her fur bristled up like a bottle brush and I can't even describe the sound of hate she made at him. I helped her through having a litter and then watched her smack down her own kittens when they tried to get her spot.

Catcat was pure magic. I knew her about 9 years and one day she disappeared in the woods and couldn't be found again. Whenever I see a cat that looks like that I can't help but wander if it is her. I call them by her names but they never recognize me. We have had, and I have cared for, other cats. But there will only ever be one Catcat.
