You know how cats do. They hide to die. Dogs come home.
I don't believe in happy endings. Children have got to face death sooner or later. Granny and Grandpa die, dogs die, cats die, gerbils and those frightful things - what are they called? - hamsters: all die like flies. So there's no point avoiding it.
The first thing I do when I come home is check the refrigerator for cats because I'm convinced that if one dies, my husband will hide it in there because I don't cook and so I won't see it. I do drink Cokes, though ,so technically he should hide the corpse in the oven. And now I need to start checking the oven.

Being a person, I had come to realize, is a communal activity. Dogs know how to be dogs. But people do not know how to be people unless and until they learn from other people.
Those who die, merely suffering the woes of life like cats and dogs, are they men?
I have cats, dogs, monkeys and ducks at home - it's like a mini zoo.
It's funny how dogs and cats know the inside of folks better than other folks do, isn't it?
Dogs come when they're called; cats take a message and get back to you later.
Cats are smarter than dogs. You can't get eight cats to pull a sled through snow.
Dogs will eat till they die. Cats will leave food in the dish, incomprehensible to a dog.
If Chelsea drop points, the cat's out in the open. And you know what cats are like - sometimes they don't come home.
Everywhere there was somewhere and everywhere there they were men women children dogs cows wild pigs little rabbits cats lizards and animals. That is the way it was. And everybody dogs cats sheep rabbits and lizards and children all wanted to tell ... all about themselves.
People who don't like cats haven't been around them. There's the old joke: dogs have masters, cats have staff.
Dogs seem more photogenic than cats. In photos most cats look like sociopaths.
Evidence indicates that cats were first tamed in Egypt. The Egyptians stored grain, which attracted rodents, which attracted cats. (No evidence that such a thing happened with the Mayans, though a number of wild cats are native to the area.) I don't think this is accurate. It is certainly not the whole story. Cats didn't start as mousers. Weasels and snakes and dogs are more efficient as rodent-control agents. I postulate that cats started as psychic companions, as Familiars, and have never deviated from this function.
We have two dogs, Mabel and Wolf, and three cats at home, Charlie, George and Chairman. We have two cats on our farm, Tom and Little Sister, two horses, and two mini horses, Hannah and Tricky. We also have two cows, Holy and Madonna. And those are only the animals we let sleep in our bed.
