On freak kitchen's guitarist album, there this sentence:

'to Kitty
who never hesitated to call upon my attention to do something more important than recording this album, like dive headlong in a chilly river to retrieve a stick, or to show those pigeon who's boss, so true, so true'

I think that pets were created by God to remind Man where he's coming from, and that he shouldn't lose his natural instinct for playing games.

For those who know the french cartoon 'Gaston LAGAFFE', there's another quote 'if heads of governments had a cat on their knees to pet, there would be less wars'

Show must go on...
