Jordan said...: Don't laugh, but I sort of have this sci-fi fantasy in which cats evolve into intelligent creatures (over millennia) and, in the future, are finally able to intellectually comprehend their deep bond with people, since they (the smart future cats) have centuries' worth of human "cat art" (all of it: from Inigo Jones paintings to Egyptian intaglios to Tom and Jerry) that they can understand and appreciate. In one version of this sci-fi fantasy, the humans are lost or extinct, and there are museums where the future smart cats look at thousands of examples of "lost art" that we made...kittens ask, Who were "humans"? And are told about who we were, and how much we clearly revered them.

I read on Wikipedia that we now consider the human/cat bond to go back at least five thousand years, since an archeological dig somewhere unearthed the mummified skeletal remains of a human child from that long ago who was buried with a cat...; January 31, 2012 at 9:22 PM
Cal's Canadian Cave of Coolness said...: They are the most noble of creatures. I believe that they protect my soul and have since I was very little. I believe that Cat's can sense death or demons that treaten us while we sleep. I have seen nursing home cats predict the end. I believe they keep mummies from entering our houses.

I love the Stephen King movie - Daywalkers - where all the kitties come and save the day in the end and dance around fires. Good stuff.; January 31, 2012 at 9:28 PM
DrGoat said...: Kittys are very special. I'm particularly fond of black ones, and tuxedo kittys. That old wives tale of kittys stealing your breath while you sleep is true. They check out Santa's naughty list and go to work. Besides, I haven't had a mummy infestation in 40 yrs. Yep, kittys.; February 1, 2012 at 6:53 AM

Calvin's Canadian Cave Of Cool Manifesto

I forever stand vigilant to protect this planet from the myriad of forces that are always against us. Be it the octopus, zombies, aliens or the robots my team of human agents, and our feline allies, circle the globe in a never ending struggle for human freedom.

I learn all I can on every subject that interests me. I especially enjoy ancient history because in the past there are valuable lessons to be found. Also, if I ever get my time machine to work properly, it would be good to know a bit about possible destinations and what to expect when I get there.

I greatly appreciate beautiful design. Be it manufactured or found naturally I am fascinated by the process of invention. I am attracted to the unique, the strange, the haunted. I like to share what I find on this blog.

And not let us forget the 'Cephalopod Menace' who, if allowed to, would wrap their tentacles around all that is good and pure in this life and crush it until it remained no more. They are creatures of pure spite. Hate is all they know. Death is all they do. They are our most ruthless and determined enemy.

So we fight. Selena has the celebrity contacts, the cat is ruthless and without pity, Roosevelt's ghost has the experience and I do the wetwork.

Fighting for the future of the planet doesn't have to be a chore, however. We can take the time to appreciate all that is cool in this world even as we cut the octopus into bite sized chunks.

This is the reason there has always been and must forever be, a Cave of Cool. Be sure to wipe your feet before you enter.
