Only man behaves with such gratuitous folly. Nor do cats attempt, by abstinence from cat’s meat, to wheedle the feline spirits into benevolence. Asses do not bray a liturgy to cloudless skies. Dogs do not ritually urinate in the hope of persuading heaven to do the same and send down rain. No horse, for example would kill one of its foals to make the wind change direction.
