Animalspeak #3-Cat

What do you actually do all day...do you really just nap? And eat?
While my body rests, I think.
And what do you think about?
Many things. Important things. Unimportant things. Each thought must be thought completely through.
It just seems as though all this thinking takes up a lot of time.
Silly girl. Tell me, what is time?
Well...it's a way of measuring...a way to keep organized.
Do you know that you humans have created a slave master?
What do you mean? Time keeps the world going in an orderly way! Without it, people would do things whenever. Nothing would ever work.
Time itself is not the problem. It is what you humans have made it. You have become shackled to it. You obey the call of Time, more and more, "wasting" it, punished for it, and in the end...so many of you wish you had more.
So you're saying we shouldn't have Time then? How would that even work?
Not that you shouldn't have it...but your lives are ruled by Time too much...but of course, I'm only a cat. What do I know?I thought you think great thoughts. Haven't you thought this out yet?
I have no need, because I don't bother with it. When I am hungry, I eat. When tired, I sleep.
Well, unfortunately, I have more responsibilities than just eating and sleeping.
And so I can afford to lie here all day, thinking great thoughts.
I guess so.
