   Thank you for saying “wide-ranging” instead of “meandering” or worse! I wrote something more coherent as a comment to Fernand0’s epinion, I think.

   I very much want to see this miracle cat of yours. Mine competes in the Olympic high jump if you put his food on top of the icebox, and sings Italian opera.
