What I learned constructive about women, not just ethics like never blame them if they pox you because somebody poxed them and lots of times they don't even know they have it — that's in the first reader for squares — is, no matter how they get, always think of them the way they were on the best day they ever had.

Fish, he said softly, aloud, I'll stay with you until I am dead.

The cat has complete emotional honesty - an attribute not often found in humans.
