Plus, you don't get all scratched up in catfights for no good reason thataway, and you get to enjoy a beer and laugh at the ignorance of the world.
Race car games are fun, too - beats the hell out of having to go around pissed off all the time for relaxation!

Totally off topic, but your post reminds me of the time my brother decided he was going break up a fight between our cat and some stray.
That was over 50 years ago, and he still carries the scars on his face to this day.
He must've made the mistake of laying hands on them. Cats are ALL "XYY", and that gives them a predisposition to criminality.
Last week, I was out harvesting some tobacco and seed. We have two cats that were both strays and just kinda took up with us, but they never warmed up to one another.
So there I was, minding my own business, when all hell broke loose and a big ball of fighting cat rolled down the hill in front of my upper shed. I didn't lay hands on them, I yowled like a panther, loud, because I speak impeccable cat. I may speak it with a hillbilly accent, but the cats have hillbilly accents, too, so it's all ok. The neighbor got terribly excited, because he thought it WAS a panther yowling. Anyhow, the cats take notice when I do that - they are convinced that the taser is what's up next, and cats hate tasers.
So they immediately separated to their respective corners, at a dead run. That's how you break up a cat fight - it avoids all those scars that will never heal properly.

Diogenes was eating bread and lentils for supper. He was seen by the philosopher Aristippus, who lived comfortably by flattering the king.
Said Aristippus, ‘If you would learn to be subservient to the king you would not have to live on lentils.’ Said Diogenes, ‘Learn to live on lentils and you will not have to be subservient to the king.’
