Sometimes it's almost questionable whether living with humans is really worth it. They're clumsy, they're smelly, and they take up way too much space on the furniture these days.
Furthermore, they're quarrelsome and unable to work together to solve major problems--like the present pandemic.
On the other hand, they have a lot going for them. To take just a few examples, with a few timely links, they are often kind, including to human strangers and (crucially) cats. They give good ear scratches and tummy rubs. They are immensely creative across a number of genres, including visual art, music, and storytelling. They invest time and money into curing and treating medical conditions, including those of cats.
And right now, a great many humans are struggling. They are battling illness, financial trouble, and a cocktail of loneliness, anxiety and despair that has made nearly one in four of them depressed in this country.

| So many lonely people! |
Now is the time to remind humans of their good side and to show them that we appreciate them--or at least tolerate them in a friendly kind of way. I propose that we all work together to make tomorrow the first-ever International Cheek-Rub a Human Day.
Show your human a little love!
