Sneha Subramanian Kanta
“The language of a river inscribes
over eyes of moths and flies
the navel of the land is a lake.”
Sneha Subramanian Kanta, Synecdoche

“When company comes, you must walk the fine line between obvious rudeness and actually making the intruders feel welcome. Sniff the guests' feet, but don't rub up against them. Jump on their laps, but don't stay to be petted. Stick around long enough to hear them say how beautiful you are, but not long enough to let on that you care what they think.

The only exception to these rules is when the visitor is a confirmed cat-hater. That's when you need to pull out all the stops—purr, rub, cling and cuddle, until the offending human sneezes and departs abruptly.”
Globe Digests, Cat Talk A Lighthearted Look at Living with Cats
