One of the small side effects of hanging out in online writers' forums is that writers (in my experience) tend to be cat people, and inevitably there comes a post every so often in which someone's beloved cat passes away. If one is also a cat person, these posts are always very sad. There was such a post on a Usenet group I read the other day, and amongst the follow-ups of condolence I found this charming quote:
"Yes, dogs provided companionship while man was at the hunt. But it was cats who insisted that we invent houses and discover fire."
I don't know where that comes from, but man, is that a great quote.
