Mr Practical is an orderly and efficient model worker and citizen. Despite doing everything perfectly, he is becoming sadder and sadder. Pills are not helping, so he buys a cat – purring is supposed to improve your mood. But a cat is not a pill, it is not interested in norms and indicators. It will not purr unless it feels loved. But Practical Man does not know a thing about love, they didn’t mention it in the Excel sheets.
