The first word that you teach a new cat in your house is the word “No”. It is used for all sorts of situations, from the mundane to the extremely dangerous (walking onto a stovetop). It gets the cat used to the concept of limits, so that it is able to deal with those limits when they should arise. Best done when the cat is still a kitten – we recently acquired two Maine Coon kittens and this was the first thing that they learned about us.

The cats will eventually decide to humor you and “accept” your limits, more-or-less. They will still whine when you do not obey “them”.

Note: also applicable to children. And maybe also some cat owners.

It may be part of a general decline of our ownership culture, especially with software products that stop working at the vendor’s whim.

The punishment for fraudulent litigation should be very severe. At the end of the day, when a fraudulent case is filed, the plaintiff is attempting to arm himself or herself with the power of the state to take money. It is a serious crime. And it should be punished seriously.

The same goes for government attorneys that violate ethics rules . .. .
