The Thug
The Thug By Rebecca Solomon Neighborhood cats have lives that no one suspects, especially humans who "own" them. The truth is, no one owns a cat. They allow humans to take care of them and pet them.

May I ask about the application of your work?”“I am not sure I understand.”“I mean, how would the layman use the ideas in your papers?”“This is for science…”“I see. To benefit mankind.”“I think that may be too much to say at the moment.”“But it is for science?”“Yes. My own theory.”“A theory?”“Yes, for now, it is my own idea. But if my ideas are correct, it may change the way we look at the world.”“Interesting… ...
