Futile conversations we have known and loved

"Oh, look, you had sausage! Why would you ever imagine that you would get bacon as well? That's not how it works, you know that's not how it works...!"

And repeat, ad astra, which means until the stars fall.

If bacon is available as well as sausage, then it must mean bacon may be had as well as sausage.

After all, where is it decreed that cats shall not have both?

ad astra, which means until the stars fall

Not exactly. "Towards the stars" would be more accurate (my father was in the RAF; "Per ardua ad astra" - "Through challenges, towards the stars", IIRC - their motto).

My translation would "Ad astra occidant", but my Latin is rusty to say the least.

Not exactly.

I know that - but the cats don't. They know all about ad nauseam, but ad infinitum stretches their little heads a bit too far, so I thought I'd offer them something in between. They're very gullible.

They're very gullible.

...except in the matter of bacon, obviously.

Cats, like hope, spring eternal.
