We reject the assumption that virtue is the exclusive province of the State. We’ve had enough of being told we’re morally obligated to hand over our fortunes to thieves who squander it on fleets of luxury jet aircraft and endless foreign junkets. We see nothing moral about giving the State a dollar, so it can give a nickel to someone it finds deserving of our compulsory charity.

It’s been over a year since the lads arrived, and in that time Mycah has hissed and growled more than in the entirety of her life prior to the aforementioned arrival.
She is, however, becoming more tolerant of their presence, though only in narrowly defined circumstances.
The lads have always, from Day 1, wanted to be friendly with her. Kismet, however, is the one who has hit on the right formula. When I am near at hand, and if they feel there is an imminent prospect of food or treat delivery, Mycah will tolerate Kismet grooming her:
It’s completely predictable.
What I have not been able to capture on video, due to the unpredictable nature thereof, is Packet’s ill-considered attempts to exhibit friendliness towards Mycah. He just wants to play!, but unfortunately Mycah considers his attempts to play! as an attack… due in no small part to his preferred method of play!ing, which consists of him sneaking up behind her and pouncing.
Yowling and hissing follow immediately thereafter.
