Vet: Hm. I see. Well I think I may be able to help you. You see ... your cat is suffering from what we Vets haven’t found a word for. His condition is typified by total physical inertia, absence of interest in its ambience - what we Vets call environment - failure to respond to the conventional external stimuli - a ball of string, a nice juicy mouse, a bird. To be blunt, your cat is in a rut. It’s the old stockbroker syndrome, the suburban fin de siecle ennui, angst, weltschmertz, call it what you will.

Mrs B: Moping.

Vet: In a way, in a way ... hum ... moping, I must remember that. Now, what’s to be done? Tell me sir, have you confused your cat recently?

Mr A: Well we ...

Mrs B: Sh! No.

Vet: Yes ... well I think I can definitely say that your cat badly needs to be confused.

Graham Chapman was brilliant in that sketch.

You should stick to archeology.
This has nothing to do with that.

It’s been documented. I’m not sure why you would doubt it just because you haven’t seen it.

I know dogs. The acquisition of food is their prime biological imperative. Anyone who says otherwise is anthropomorphizing them.

Which is why trainers use food.

At first I thought they were talking about feet

Yeah, it does, because Kinison did a bit about dog psychologists.

The thread you posted did not.
You have turned into quite the troll.

I won’t bother to check your posting history. When this kind of attack occurs, it’s nearly always a Putinista troll.

Once again you call me that.
Don’t check my history.
I have never once posted in support of Russia.
You have continuously backed Biden in the Ukraine.
If I were to guess about you?
You have sucked the government tit all your life and can’t give it up.
Like I said. Stick to archeology. You suck at everything else.
