Venus, as usual, can't mind her own business. What cat would want to be a human (except, maybe, to open cans)? Who would give up a perfectly fine relationship because of a mouse pounce?

Everyone in this story is a jerk, except the cat!

^.~`* love *`~.^

But you're right. Poor kitty.

Gosh, it would be so easy to hijack this thread by mentioning social-determinism.

Would make a nice parable about addiction and relapse.
The original fable assumes that a cat could feel love, but I guess that's why they're called fables.

As it says in one fable-like Grimm tale, "and such is the way of the world."
