I used to have a cat named Toby.
Toby was a grumpy prick.
He was also fat.
And lazy as fuck.
And I do mean lazy as fuck.
He was so lazy that, in all the years we were together, he had the zoomies a grand total of one time. It was such a remarkable event that, as we watched in amusement while Toby pinballed about the living room, Ron asked him:
What are you, a squirrel in traffic?
It’s not much of a quote, perhaps, but it’s of great sentimental value, because it makes me think of my beloved pet, who was one of the best companions I’ve ever had.
Even despite being a grumpy, lazy prick.
Or perhaps because of it.
