1999sep10. (dead news link) "I’ve always treated all of my pets as friends and family.’’ Why “guardian"? I don’t think that goes far enough. How about “human buddy"? ”Mister Paws is one crazy mother scratcher ... I’m glad I’m his human buddy, cleaning up after his shit, feeding him, teaching him how to vote for the least corrupt political official of each meaningless populace strata, and reminding him to get a fucking job and start bringing in some moola to pay for some of his goddamned spit-encrusted cat toys.”
