Hunky: .Humans will celebrate anything. And do.

Dorie: ..This is how humans justify their otherwise dull day-to-day existence, unlike cats, who celebrate every day.

Hunky: But we have to agree that they're onto something today - celebrating mothers.

Dorie: ..Mothers all over the world have a common bond, whether they are human or one of the 45,000 other species.

Hunky: .They all have an inborn imperative to bring their young to adulthood, to protect them until they can fend for themselves, and it's their nature that we celebrate today.

Dorie: ..Of course, humans take a lot longer accomplishing this goal than, say, insects.

Hunky: We really don't remember our earliest upbringing; we just know we found ourselves here, with a couple humans for entertainment and surrogate mothering.

Hunky: And for that we are appreciative.

Dorie: ..Happy Mother's Day!
