I sat down to do some work this afternoon. A single beam of sunlight was shining into my living room, directly onto the recliner. Looked comfy, so I sat there with my notebook. Within minutes, all my lifeforce began to leech out of me. Bathed in a heavenly glow, my limp fingers let my pen sag into my lap as my eyelids sealed shut and I curled into a quasi-fetal position. The chair was so warm and toasty with the sun shining on it, I could barely form coherent thought. But as I drifted into indolent bliss, the veil of the universe parted and I achieved an instant of satori.
In that moment, I completely understood cats.
