Disparate Housecats of Daytona Beach, episode 15

Catatonic in a Zen Garden: The Raker's Progress. Raking sand is a daily meditation for these two cats. The careful, rhythmic, trance-inducing process of turning sand into an aesthetic experience is nothing new to any feline devotee. It allows the raker to relieve stress and other things. Uncover, cover, uncover, cover. It becomes a kinetic koan describing the basic gesture of life. A philosophical question in movement - without words. How purrfect? Mirl asks the unanswerable, "If you're wearing nose plugs, does your shit stink?" Then he adds, "Eat, purr, poop!" Uncover, cover, uncover, cover - today's cattra (a cat mantra). Poor, poor pussies - so misunderstood.
