Good grief, that's twice in one day that I agree with Smith.

I used to hate cats, purely because they decimate the local wildlife for
no good reason, but now I live in a house with three of them, and I must
admit I've become more tolerant. It's a bit of a paradox really. How can
one care about both the predator and its prey? I feel like I should make
that choice, but I can't ... they're both living, sentient animals, that
deserve respect, because they act only on instinct, and without malice.
