The future is cat, the past and present are cat, the empire of cat extends from Mercury to Pluto. Hearsay of a time before the empire of cat is a barbarity one does not care to contemplate. For the empire of cat is constant, fixed, imperishable. With perfection achieved, one does not seek change. Felis sapiens conjoins what was once merely human with what was once lion, lynx, leopard, ocelot, caracal. Felis sapiens rules the empire with velvet paw, accepting the homage of robot servants. Felis sapiens rules rodents, rabbits, birds, protecting them from all harm save, of course, cat. In the empire of cat, one hunts when inclined, one fights when one chooses, but most of the time one naps.
