As the old joke puts it: dogs have owners, but cats have staff.

A dog looks up to you and a cat looks down on you, but a pig looks upon you as an equal.

A reply from cstross! That's it, I'm done for the day. Doesn't get better than that. Thanks for all the great books!
Side note: I think Peter Watts is also a "cat person". Something about cat people must contribute to them being some of my favorite writers. Which is odd, since I'm more of a dog person. Maybe if I wrote fiction I would hate what I wrote. And Amazon should include a "author pet preference" as filterable criteria when searching for books. If Greg Egan likes cats that would make for a trifecta.

Love it.
I know that certain “redditisms” like “username checks out” probably don’t fly here…but seeing someone named “RobWilliams” responding positively to a cat joke just puts a warm smile on my face.
