mhbraun (Matt Braun):
One winter shortly before the Six Weeks War my tomcat, Petronius the
Arbitor, and I lived in an old farmhouse in Connecticut..... but we liked it
then, Pete and I. The lack of plumbing made the rent low and what had been
the dining room had a good north light for my drafting board.
The drawback was that the place had eleven doors to the outside,
twelve if you counted Pete's door. I always tried to arrange a door of his
own for Pete - in this case a board fitted into a window in an unused bedroom
and in which a cut a cat strainer just wide enough for Pete's whiskers. I
have spent too much of my life opening doors for cats - I once calculated
that, since the dawn of civilization nine hundred and seventy-eight
man-centuries have been used up in that way. I could show you the figures.
Pete usually used his own door except when he could bully me into
opening a people door for him, which he preferred. But he *would not* use his
door when there was snow on the ground.
While still a kitten, all fluff and buzzes, Pete had worked out a
simple philosophy. I was in charge of quarters, rations, and weather; he was
in charge of everything else. But he held me especially responsible for
weather. Connecticut winters are good only for Christmas cards; regularly
that winter Pete would check his own door, refuse to go out it because of the
unpleasant white stuff beyond it (he was no fool), then badger me to open a
people door.
He had a fixed conviction that at least one of them must lead into
summer weather. Each time this meant that I had to go around with him to each
of eleven doors, hold it open while he satisfied himself that it was winter
out that way too, then go on to the next door, while his criticisms of my
mismanagement grew more butter each disappointment.
Then he would stay indoors until hydraulic pressure utterly forced him
outside. When he returned the ice in his pads would sound like clogs on the
wooden floor and he would glare at me and refuse to purr until he had chewed
it all out....whereupon he would forgive me until next time.
But he never gave up his search for the Door into Summer.
-Heinlein "The Door Into Summer"
