Cats have an interesting feature, Pratchett noted. If there is a cat somewhere, it is clear that it has always been there. Even if no hint of a cat was seen here a minute before. You look at this pleasant striped face and you understand: first there was a cat, and already around the cat began to grow grass and crawl all sorts of fools, then - to jump from the sable-toothed tigers. Around the cats an ancient man broke down. They set up a fireplace, spread fire in the shadow of the cat. Near the cat, a village was built, and then a city. And while the builders grabbed the boiler specifically for this nine-storey, the cat was squeezing nearby, and it had to be pulled out a hundred times from there, because it was interesting. So they built: they excavated a cubic meter of land – they got a resistant cat, they dug another two cubic meters – they got it again. A popular wisdom says: if you unravel the closet, you can find a lot of interesting and about a hundred times the same cat.
