No matter the size of the cat, the "kitty stretch" remains the same.
A collage of four images showing different types of cats stretching in a similar posture.

Is it an exaggeration to call Bob Dylan the greatest American poet? No. He was a phenomenal lyricist:
This one, got a princely racket
That's what I said, now
Got some big seal upon his jacket
Ain't in his head, now
You marry him, your father will condone you How 'bout that, now
You marry me, your father will disown you He'll eat his hat, now

Something I've not mustered up the courage to talk about because my position in life is obviously quite good is that the core tenet of being a Midwesterner, and one which I continue to ascribe to and has never served me wrong, is simple: Interrogate your wants so hard you reject a solid majority.
