Human Instinct Is A Beautiful Puzzle: The Cat Who Became A Wife

And if you prefer to listen, Fablecast here …

Over the weekend I saw Isabella Rossellini’s Link Link Circus. Not a circus (oops — I took a 9 year old to the show), but an eggheadedly interesting theatricalized lecture about the links between human and animal nature. The show was … a mess, but then just about anytime we begin to delve into the issues of instinct versus reason borders get nebulous almost immediately.

This next fable of LaFontaine’s is a good example of the mists surrounding the topic.
