Wisdom of the Ages

You can learn a lot from your animals. Our youngest cat, Catie, believes that the secrets of the universe are hidden within the cabinet under the sink. She is sure of this, and there is nothing I can do to dissuade her. She has seen the door open, has caught a glimpse of what lies within, and this has been sufficient to firmly cement her beliefs. Whenever she sees that the door is open, even just a little bit, she is compelled to run over and try to get in. Even if the door is shut, she'll still come over to see if there is some passage that she has overlooked.
