Little one, I would like to see anyone — prophet, king or God — persuade a thousand cats to do anything at the same time.
... the beast made the noise of a cat being shampooed, a lonely wail of horror and outrage, of shame and defeat.
Anansi Boys (2005)
All cats can see futures, and see echoes of the past. We can watch the passage of creatures from the infinity of now, from all the worlds like ours, only fractionally different. And we follow them with our eyes, ghost things, and the humans see nothing.
If enough of us dream, if a bare thousand of us dream, we can change the world. We can dream it anew! A world in which no cat suffers from the malice of humans. In which no cats are killed by human caprice. A world that we rule.
