A discussion on the virtues of cats

Having a cup of coffee at Carson’s Store, the Noark, Connecticut diner that has been a general store and local institution since 1907, I listened as two elderly people, speaking very loudly to one another, have a wide-ranging conversation that ended with this point:

Female: “He does have his good points…he leaves me mice in my bed.”

Male: “Yes. That probably is his best point.”
