The dog, though deserves glorification thanks to the tireless loyalty and keenness to people, somewhat lost fight for worship - more than possibly, because of these lines. The cat, aloof and incognizable, inexplicable force wakes up feeling of attachment in the person.

Cortбzar has a fine literary sketch devoted cat's & #171; About circulation art р¤дом»:

& #171; The Major discoveries are made under circumstances and in places of the most unusual. To take Newton's apple & #8212; unless it is not tremendous? It happened so that during the business meeting, itself I do not know why, I thought of cats (who were not connected with the agenda in any way) and suddenly opened that cats & #8212; phones. And so, at once & #8212; all ingenious is simple. Certainly, similar opening are a certain surprising: nobody got used to that phones walked about backwards-forward moreover drank up milk and adored fish. Time is required to understand: it is about phones special, it seems & #171; воки-токи» which has no wires, & #8212; and, in addition, to consider that we are unusual too, times were still not understood that cats & #8212; phones, & #8212; here also did not come to our mind to use them. Considering that this ignorance goes back to the most remote antiquity, today it is not necessary to hope for communication which we would try to adjust by means of opening, & #8212 especially; the lack of the code which would allow to decipher the message is obvious, to precisely define origin and temper of senders. As it was noticed, it is not about picking up the nonexistent phone and to dial number having nothing in common with our figures, and, of course, not about that on other end of a wire could speak with us in some very foggy occasion. The fact that phones operate is confirmed by any cat, with the advantage which is badly rewarded by biped subscribers, & #8212; nobody will be able to deny that its black, white, white and skewbald or Angora phone continually resolutely comes nearer, stops at legs of the subscriber and selects the message which is foolishly transcribed by our primitive pathetic literature in shape & #171; м¤у» and other similar phonemes. Silky verbs, plush adjectives, simple and compound sentences, permanently soapy and glitserinopodobny, form the speech which in other cases is connected with feeling of hunger: in these cases phone no other than a cat, but in other cases he expresses, distracting from the personality, and it demonstrates that at this time the cat is phone. Stupid and pretentious, we throughout the millennia did not answer calls, did not ask a question from where they who on other end of a wire what tirelessly reminded us the trembling tail in any of houses of the earth of. On what to me and you my opening? Each cat & #8212; phone, but each person & #8212; just person. Whether we need to know what they continue to notify on us what horizons open for us, & #8212; as for me, I was enough only for dialing number of the university in which I work on ordinary phone, and nearly with shame to publish the opening. It is excessive to speak about dumbness of the frozen cassava with which the scientists answering such звонки» met my message;.

It is also known that Iosif Brodsky often finished telephone conversation with relatives and friends, saying: "Meow-meow!"
