Something You Should Know · The Human Need to Matter & The Enduring Appeal of Cats · 5 Jan 2026 podcast

Yeah.

And, and with that, there's an implication generally that there is an afterlife that you are going, both going into and you don't want to go make that journey alone.

That's correct.

And I know that's true in California.

And in fact, one of the interesting things here in Carson is we've got a human cemetery just down the street from our pet cemetery.

And that's as close as someone can get to being buried near their cat.

Well, the first thing is that cats actually are trying often to communicate with us.

And this is something that I'd been living around cats for a long time, and I only learned this recently, that when a domesticated cat approaches you and its tail is up, that's a symbol signifying, yeah, I want to interact with you.

So the tail up is actually a symbol.

That's one thing.

The second thing I think that's really fascinating and kind of unexpected about cats is just how smart and curious they are.

That in and of itself is kind of a fascinating mystery, isn't it?

I wouldn't say that about a goldfish, for example.

I don't think there's a little, you know, complex mind that's paddling around in that fishbowl.

And, you know, this is not something that I'm Jerry Moore just making up.

I mean, we see this in different cultures and different traditional cultures, and we see it throughout the Western tradition.

I mean, there is a reason why in Alice in Wonderland, Lewis Carroll did not write about the Cheshire dog.

Right.

Now, they have remarkable spatial memories.

And I think one of the things about that that's important is that it's not just remembering a place.
