As Paul Harvey used to say, “And, now for the rest of the story.” In this case, the rest of the quote – "And, satisfaction brought it back.’

Cat 2: “Really? Let’s check.”

Well, that explains a lot.

“Oh, I was afraid it was a catnip overdose.”

Schrödinger’s

“I wasn’t asking! Honestly!”

No, it was his ninth life

I’m probably spending too much time at home, but I stared at the cat’s nose and mouth and could see the number “4” or the letters “DC”. Anyone else or am I going stir-crazy?

Curiosity didn’t kill this cat, it was the loss of a whisker that killed it

Who is Curiosity? Why do they have such a weird name? Why did they hurt the poor kitty? Is there something terribly wrong with them? Are they going to be punished? Why do these chairs look so odd? How much longer are we going to be here? What’s for dinner?

In other words, don’t ask questions. “Curiosity” is the standard excuse they use on the Planet of the Cats when they don’t want to discuss the real cause of death. Could be he overdosed on catnip (scandalous!), or he fell but failed to land on his feet (shameful!), etc., etc.

HILARIOUS! This joke is catnip to cat lovers! … I have cats … all of my (nine) lives.
