I have just returned from traveling so I haven't had a chance to read all of the posts yet. However, I have to say that of course the lack of cats got my attention too. Who doesn't believe that in our world cats must be secretly plotting global domination. At least I know all the cats that I've had were!
Ironically, cat bans in New Zealand were a big topic in the news a week ago. I read the articles with a completely different perspective having just finished
City and wondering how cats would have behaved in a killing-free dog world.
By the way, I thought it was interesting how the dogs transitioned in the timeline from using special flea powders (killing insects contrary to the societal expectations) to suffering again from fleas.
