Cats with Frickin' Lightsabers   [Jonah Goldberg]

Kathryn — Even if I was the cat hater so many have made me out to be, I don't think there's a cat hater in the world who wouldn't concede that a cat with a lightsaber looks cooler and is more deserving of respect than a cat without one. Even Cosmo agrees with that.

No one ever says, "Watch out, he's got a lightsaber!" about a cat that doesn't have one.

Update: Dissent from readers:

Jonah,
 
I personally am a very strong cat disdainer (and some say bordering on, if not fully into, hate).  I would respect the lightsaber and keep distance from a cat who had one, but I refuse to respect any cat.  My favorite books include “101 Uses for a Dead Cat” and “101 More Uses for a Dead Cat.”  And I see now the author now has a compilation called “Complete Uses of a Dead Cat” that includes these 2 and a 3rd book I have not seen, “Uses of a Dead Cat in History.”  I will have to check this out!
 
Call me an avid reader and watcher,

And:

Jonah,

Cooler? yes. More deserving of respect? Not exactly.  

Rather, more deserving of fear.

Because, cats can't be trusted.

If a cat thought he could kill you, he would use the lightsaber on you, with no thought about who would open those smelly cans of fish by-products
