Sunday: Hili dialogue

November 30, 2014 • 3:33 am

Our spell of warm weather is about to end, and we’ll plunge back into subfreezing temperatures. We’ve as yet had only a light dusting of snow in Chicago. Meanwhile in Dobrzyn, Hili evinces some knowledge of ancient philosophy “The cat is the measure of all things”), but where Cyrus learned this stuff I’ll never know!

Cyrus: We are sophists.
Hili: Yes, but we need a feline Protagoras here.

In Polish:
Cyrus: Jesteśmy sofistami.
Hili: Tak, ale brakuje nam tu kota Protagorasa.

    1. I never noticed that on a cat before, and wonder if it’s common enough to be identified as a potential adaptation? It would appear to conflict with crypsis, since eye-spots tend to be, well, eye-catching.

  1. Thanks for the weather comment 🙁

    Heading to Midway this morning for three days in your fair city. Been watching the weather and would not have considered it warm the last few days (just less cold). I think I’ll start my warm clothing purchase campaign this afternoon before the place freezes over!
