Steve spreads some love.
This is mostly about AR-15s (ack!ptui!) but this paragraph lets you know everything you need to know about the author:
It reminds me of what people say when they want to convince you cats are real pets: “My cat is just like a dog!” Why didn’t you just buy a dog, then? No one ever says, “You’ll love my dog! He’s just like a cat!” This is true for the same reason no one ever tries to make fake vegetables from meat.

As Ron Swanson says: Dogs under 20 pounds are cats, and cats are useless.
Cats hang out and pretend to be warm and friendly (well, most cats), but if you happen to die alone, they will happily survive by eating your remains. And then they will treat the next owner with the same apparent love as you. (“Pet me. By the way, you should eat more.”)
My ex had a cat that hated everybody except my ex. This despite my ex setting the cat on fire (accidentally) a couple of times and giving it a brief tumble in the dryer. I don’t remember why, but for a short time my ex had her mother and dad take care of the cat. It snuck up on my mother-in-law while she was doing laundry in the basement. Officially, the cat passed away from unknown causes and received a nice burial near other family pets. Unofficially, my ex’s mother killed that damned cat and had her husband bury it before her daughter found out. Some family member started to warn me about not asking questions, but I quickly pointed out that I was entirely happy with the outcome and had no desire to disturb the peace.
