It is not going too far to say that many millions of people
who pass for intelligent believe that every cat has two
personalities--one that is just an ordinary cat and the
other an intangible something that can penetrate solid

that the cat which you expressed, charges prepaid, to your
brother's wife in Trenton, New Jersey, is heard running over
the piano-keys in your own house a few nights later.
We are far from knowing everything that is worth while about
the cat, much as we may boast of our advancement in general
education.
