Our catch phrase is on its way.

Dear Fellow Earthlings,

There was a man named David Lyall who lived on a small island. David was in charge of a lighthouse on the island. He had a pet cat which he called Tibbles. Tibbles had a rather gruesome hobby. Sheenjoyed killing the Stephens Island Wren, a bird found only on that island – and, since it had no natural enemies, if was flightless. Tibbles just killed and killed and killed, often bringing the murdered birds (totally intact, since she killed only for fun) to show to David. Tibbles enjoyed chasing and killing these songbirds (one of only three species of flightless songbirds that have ever been discovered by humans). Poor Tibbles! Her fun ended when the last bird was killed – and a beautiful species had been delivered to extinction. NOW do you understand why I don’t want pet cats running around in the wild?
