If I start dressing up my cat, shoot me

Moonbie just needs to be assimilated. The right cat will come along sooner or later.

Speaking of which ... a friend of mine sent me an interesting tidbit of scientific research in which mice were infected with a certain fluke that impaired an instinctive cat-fearing center of their brains. (I'll try to dig this up if anyone is interested.) There was some speculation that cat-lovers are infected with this same parasite causing us to warm up to felines more readily than those who are not infected.

I think you have made an incredibly important biological discovery here. As everyone knows klingons and tribbles don't get along:

Notice that this Klingon is pretty much indistinguishable from a human.


The klingon spy was discovered in that episode due to the natural emnity between Klingons and tribbles. I feel certain it was in an attempt to innoculate themselves with a tribble-neutral parasite that the Klingons must have done something unfortunate to their DNA and suddenly, without explanation, all ended up looking like this:

I was thinking it should have the caption, "I'm going to knock that smile right off your face the moment they put that camera down."

Actually, the card was imprinted "Muletide Greetings"...
