unbibiumAs expected, the cat wants in again tonight. Well I'm not gonna cave this time. It's hard enough to get things done without having to worry about allergies.
Man, can it ever whine. It is said that cats evolved "cuteness", or that certain illusion of cuddly helplessness that draws humans to want to take care of it. I dread the day that technology evolves cuteness on this level. The movie AI comes to mind. Then come the vending machines that get you to buy things by playing on your sympathies... or your children's. "No, Timmy, that's not a real homeless teddy bear. That's a robot owned by a giant corporation."
