Yeah. You can see him thinking: "I can have you any time I fancy and we both know it..."

Named after the Discworld's most ferocious feline, I presume?

Indeed. My wife called him that when he was but a small ball of fur. Little did she know... (how accurate she would be!)

Not all humans were not domesticated by grass, only the British.

The reference to grass was, I believe, to the Poales order of plants which includes wheat, barley, maize, millet and rice.

That family of cereals has domesticated homo sapiens and manipulated them into wiping out thousands of other plants plus insect, viruses and all sorts of other life, to produce vast swathes of otherwise sterile monocultures of wheat and rice.

If we could, we would cover entire continents from coast to coast in one unbroken field of a single strain of a grass.

So does your puddy tat, I suspect.

So Yogi, how's the booboo? Ok, I hope.

And how is that fearless ferocious furry feline feeling?

He's (thankfully) in a much better mood in recent weeks - although he's not a great fan of wet weather...
