When a cat is young, it is so small and weak that it falls victim to predators more easily.

\n\n\n

that\u2019s why we have to protect them

\n\n

True, but we also have to take care that it learns to stay small and weak. Otherwise it will never learn to be dangerous.

\n

Yes, I see where you\u2019re coming there frank, that controlled amounts of small danger and autonomy, are the best ways to protect something, by making it no longer need protection

\n\n

My last words to the kitten are:

What a glorious creature you have become, master of your own domain! How you shall revel in your power when I am out of the house!

Be proud, little one, you will be my equal, and my coequal. There is nothing more to fear in the world, you have been warned of everything! You may run free in the big world, but always, I shall know your whereabouts, and when you have learned to hide and fight I will be there to make you wise!

And your name will be Freedom!
