Cats are worthless.
They're to independent and aloof, claw furniture, and shed hair everywhere. Besides, they make a home smell like a litterbox. So, for 33 years this was my firm and unwavering position on cats. On a hot sultry day in August, I attended an exotic animal auction held in South Texas. I drew closer to get a better look, and I could see that the poor thing was pacing the floor of the small taxi, desperately wanting out.
