  1. Felis catus is your taxonomic nomenclature,

    An endothermic quadruped, carnivorous by nature;

    Your visual, olfactory, and auditory senses

    Contribute to your hunting skills and natural defenses.

    I find myself intrigued by your subvocal oscillations,

    A singular development of cat communications

    That obviates your basic hedonistic predilection

    For a rhythmic stroking of your fur to demonstrate affection.

    A tail is quite essential for your acrobatic talents;

    You would not be so agile if you lacked its counterbalance.

    And when not being utilized to aid in locomotion,

    It often serves to illustrate the state of your emotion.

    O Spot, the complex levels of behavior you display

    Connote a fairly well-developed cognitive array.

    And though you are not sentient, Spot, and do not comprehend,

    I nonetheless consider you a true and valued friend.

  2. “Dah-ta, look at this.”

    “’Day-ta”

    “What?”

    “My name. It is pronounced ‘Day-ta.”

    “Oh?”

    “You called me “Dah-ta”

    “What’s the difference?”

    “One is my name. The other is not.”

  3. Anyone else remember the post years ago that only allowed all responses to be “Data?” Anyone who posted otherwise had their comment taken down.
