Suppose we consult King Solomon.
In the Book of Proverbs, Chapter XXX, verse 26, Solomon says: “The coneys are but a feeble folk, yet they make their houses in the rocks.”
A coney is a kind of rabbit; folk, according to Mr. Webster, only another word for people.
That settles it! If the rabbits are people, cats are people.
Long lives to the cat!
