Now listen: I just came back from having lunch at Taco Bell with my wife, my daughter Lisa and Pistol. Pistol, by the way, is not a dog but a cat and he is not even like a dog but he does love to ride in a car and to get his own side order of chicken at Taco Bell.

As I have said so, so, so.... so many times before a cat is never, ever, like a dog. True, there may be things that dogs do that some cats do as well, but, you know, whales swim in the sea and I sometimes do too, but no one ever says, "you know, Frostfrog is just like a whale."

Widget is a cat, all cat, and no dog at all.

Now that I have gone on a tangent about the cat from Tangent, let me heap my praises upon Widget, who surely could not be improved upon and could not be built better no matter what they say. I will pass through Oregon in February and I will keep my eyes open. If I see a cat that is short on enzymes eating yogurt, I will buy half a pint of the stuff myself, preferably raspberry flavored and sit down and share it with him.

I am curious, though: just what kind of stuff is it that Widget so bravely and good humoredly puts up with?
