Our primary goal is to create a safe and respectful space where a broad spectrum of voices can be heard. We welcome diverse viewpoints and encourage readers to engage critically with one another’s ideas, but never at the expense of civility. Disagreement is expected—even encouraged—but it must be expressed with care and consideration. Comments that take cheap shots, escalate conflict, or veer into ideological warfare detract from the constructive spirit we aim to cultivate.

My cats are a beautiful part of my life and of everyone who comes to my home. Their affection is not forced on anybody — it’s there if you want it. In my home my family, friends and neighbors all relate to each other on a purely human level — the cats are in the background — and often end up in one’s lap! Meow!

I misread this as your family, friends, and neighbors often ending up in one’s lap, and raised an eyebrow!

He is a superb cartoonish, a vanishing species.
