Some cats merge into their surroundings. Playing a game of slow ghost. Losing senses of scale and grace for the tiny and tuning in, only to become the enormous shadow. Size matters more than size not mattering. These cats do not play by your cheap rules. Your cherished opinions and guidance will be ignored. They'll eat your words as if they were a portion of white, finely cooked and prepared chicken. They will change shape too. They'll shift themselves around and in between environments. They are not complete inhabitants of this world or any world you care to name. I doubt you can easily name any other worlds where such conditions might be met. This is one of the things you will not learn at school or college or from those who claim to be your elders and betters. Their common trait is their willingness to lie, time after time to cover their ignorance. So the cats will blend in. They'll sneak. You will observe a disturbance as they appear and disappear. Just be careful not to follow them too closely. Those who stray across unmapped borders seldom return to the place where they began their journey.
