Yes, there are. There are stray and feral domestic cats everywhere humans can live comfortably.  
And no, that thread does not explain anything. I stopped participating in sophomoric bullsessions about thirty years ago, when I was a sophomore.

Thanks for the cat’s answer, that’s all I needed 😛

The whole thread is a recursive joke, by the way. It’s not so supposed to explain anything except how to make better recursive jokes. Don’t be so offended :o

A joke thread in Great Debates? And it’s not been closed or moved to MPSIMS? Inconceivable - Tom must be in an unusually mellow mood today.

Thank **Kozmik** for that. He scared him off with some insightful analogies 😛

Why don’t you read through the thread (if you find it funny) and encourage him to keep it there? Well, only if you want 😉

Marxism is about looking for a black cat in a dark room.  
Leninism is about looking for a black cat in a dark room, but there isn’t a cat in there.  
Kimilsungism is about looking for a black cat in a dark room, there is no cat, but you keep screaming, “I found it! I found it!”

I have no idea what you just said but I’m pretty sure you said something important. Bravo :o

Very very recursive to do it on this thread too, you cool cat. You like Red Dwarf? 😛

The other thread got closed, but I made a new one about basically the same thing. I mean, basically 😛

Since this was apparently not a serious question, and in any case has been answered, I’m closing it.
