Ode to Spot
by Lieutenant Commander Data
Felis catus is your taxonomic nomenclature,
An endothermic quadruped, carnivorous by nature.
Your visual, olfactory, and auditory senses
Contribute to your hunting skills and natural defenses.
I find myself intrigued by your subvocal oscillations,
A singular development of cat communications
That obviates your basic hedonistic predilection
For a rhythmic stroking of your fur to demonstrate affection.
A tail is quite essential for your acrobatic talents.
You would not be so agile if you lacked its counterbalance.
And when not being utilized to aid in locomotion,
It often serves to illustrate the state of your emotion.
Oh Spot, the complex levels of behavior you display
Connote a fairly well-developed cognitive array,
And though you are not sentient, Spot, and do not comprehend,
I nonetheless consider you a true and valued friend.

Oh! Wait! He's a robot... nevermind...nevermind
Indeed, who would have guessed androids could be so sensitive?
My god, Mrs Earton, do you discriminate against robots?
No No...Of course not... "Wait!" is nearly a call for a slower way of living http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Slow_Movement
Yet for someone who makes calls for a slower way of living, you've been answering pretty fast, my dear :->
One should not let slow indulgence translate into a slow mind, should he?
Let's not quibble in dialectics, but what are we talking here about is fast-typing fingers; however, shall i be excused if you're typing with your mind, my lady...
Kind Sir,
'Tis true there are many of those who prefer not to make use of their minds whilst typing. I find myself in the great fortune of using mine at all time.
Touché, madame! Vous-avez mon respect!
What about the purring?
"Soft kitty, warm kitty, little ball of fur
Happy kitty, sleepy kitty, purr, purr, purr"
