Friday Afternoon Kitty: Cat Vs. Water

The tension between Cat and Water is primal. On the one hand there is Cat: intelligent, graceful, dignified, in control... or at least that's what She would have us think.

On the other there is Water. Water is all-poweful. Water is primal, dangerous and mysterious--its motives are quite literally unfathomable.

Cat is a reflection of us: She is our individuality, our civilization, our knowlege and our pride. She is Ego. She is mortal. Water is terrible Id. It is the Eternal Wet that effortlessly drowns our puny conceits and doesn't care. It gives life and destroys life. It can turn our world upside down in an instant. Water cannot be tamed; any attempt risks utter destruction.

Water's reflection is Sky. And you don't fuck with Sky, either.

To ponder Cat Vs. Water is to philosophize on existence. I think that's a good thing and I think people should do it more often. So here you go. Some YooTube vids revealing the secrets of existence. With cats. And water.

Now, ponder!











And finally, one water-wise cat with a warning...
