ENSLAVE ANIMALS?  Do you ever watch folks with a bag and a pooper
scooper follow their dogs as they do their thing?  Who's the slave<g>?
And as the "owner" of a cat let me tell you ... no one possesses THEM!
We feed them and cuddle them and provide a warm, safe environment for
them and in exchange they might deign to acknowledge our efforts by
rubbing against our legs now and then.  Slaves? We sure are!  Paul
