Imagine this: you walk into your living room, you just put the baby down to bed, and you are tired after a long day of your typically stressful life. You spot your cat lying on the couch, all curled up, it's a perfect 68 degrees in the house, the moon is glowing with its beautiful, luminescent light. You envy your cat because it has a carefree life of constant compassion, but you love it all the same. You decide to cuddle up with your cat and slide your favorite blanket off the back of the cold, leather couch. You pick up the remote that just perfectly fits in your hand, and turn on the TV. Your cat purrs as you pet it and you choose the show that you have rewatched countless times, but enjoy one bit more, every time. After one episode, your cat has moved to your lap and is fast asleep... and so are you.
