Doesn’t It Go Against the Nature Of an Animal to Keep It Tethered?
Dude to hippie chick walking cat on leash: Yo, that’s a funny looking dog you got there.
Hippie chick walking cat: That’s ’cause he’s a cat.
Dude: Why you walkin’ a cat down the street in New York City?
Hippie chick walking cat: Cause back in Colorado, he was indoor-outdoor, and now that we’ve moved out here for a while I just can’t keep him inside. But I can’t let him roam free on the streets, so I take him for walks. I love him too much to keep cooped up. It, like, goes against the nature of an animal to keep him inside and not let him experience the world outside and not let him meet other animals and other people.
Dude, amazed: Marry me.
