First of all the word catalyst has nothing to do with cats.
I chose it for my avatar because of its definition: a person, place or thing that acts as an impetus.
In other words, a burr under your saddle . . an encouragement to provoke action, or debate.
But it is true that I love cats more than I do dogs.
That's just me.
However, in spite of that, I devote today's post to what is referred to by dog-lovers as Man's Best Friend.
So there.
Meeee-ooowwww.
