Evaluating Taylor Swift's Cat

TAYLOR SWIFT'S CAT has a value of one hundred million dollars, accoding to the report, some report. I heard about it on my favorite morning sports talk radio show, where they were laughing at the fact that, evidently, at least according to some economic measurements, the feline has far greater value than, say, Travis Kelce. One of the radio hosts asked precisely what that means, that the cat is worth one hundred million dollars? Does it mean that somebody would pay that much to buy it, or is that the animal's bank account? Does Taylor, notoriously generous, pay her tabby handsomely? Good qustion, I thought. Just off the top of my head, my best guesss is that, in conjunction with mommy, the cat - I don't know whether it is male or female, or what it looks like - has appeared in some sort of comercial enterprises -Taylor obviously likes doing television commercials too - said feline has been in front of the camera to the tune of one hundred million, money which presumably actually went to Taylor, and then, knowing her, to charity. But that's just a guess. As we say, who knows? If I ever happen to bump into an economist, and it crosses my mind, I'll ask. If I had a cat worth that much, I'd be temptd to try to get kittens from it. Then too, of course, all cats, being sentient beings of God's creation, are, in terms of human money, invaluable, priceless. I took biology in tenth grade, in which we dissected frogs, but not advanced biology in eleventh grade, because in advanced bio I happened to know that they dissected cats, and I wanted no part of it. Perhaps cats which are dissected lived long lives of love, at the end of which their grieving caregivers magnanimously, to honor their dearly departed, donated the remains to science. But somehow, I doub it. I honestly think tha if some lunatice knocked on m door and offered me, say, a million dollars for each of the stray cats for whicn I care, (I'm not sure I like the term "rescue") I would turn it down. I definitely would, if my stray cats were being bought for dissection. If they were being bought by Taylro Swift, say, to add to her collection of cats, however large or small it may be, that's another matter. I am confident in Ms. Swift's ability to give a cat, any cat, a far better life than I ever could, although it might be hard for her to match the amount of time and personal attention I provide mine. Although our modern American cutlure has tried harder than any civilization in recorded history to monetize, to assign monetary value to everything, some things are still beyond monetization, if only barely. Taylor Swift has doubtless long since discovered that the difference between one hundred and two hundred million dollars is insignificant in ot only the grand scheme of things but also in her personal life. The best and easiest thing for her to do is not not worry about it,hire good people to halp share the wealth with others, and to focus on doing what she loves doing best, which is evidently writing and performing music, going to football games, and making cats extremely valuable. Good for her. We need to value cats more in America, and dogs, and ourselves, and damned near everything else that really counts.
