Coupland, Douglas: Life after God

We know what cat behavior is: cats chase mice, they rub up against your shin when they’re hungry and they have trouble deciding whether or not they want to exit a door or stay inside when you go to let them out. So what exactly is it that humans do that is specifically human?

Before we know it, too much time has passed and we’ve missed the chance to have had other people hurt us.

There is something about the animals that takes us out of ourselves and takes us out of time and allows us to forget our own lives.
