Context? CCCLIV

As I wrote yesterday, a radio personality implied on-air that cats are selfish.  I respectfully disagree, especially when it comes to my dearly departed cat, Sylvia.  Sylvia passed away five years ago, and not a day goes by when I don't recall how she'd meow to get my attention, purr with the strength of 10 cats, and reach out her paw, sometimes with her eyes closed, to prevent me from leaving a room.

I can't speak for all cats, but I know that in Sylvia's case, the word selfish doesn't come to mind.
