Line 862:
*** Plus even if there was the most minute risk to the kittens from doing the test, even the tiniest amount, why chance it? Not like Spot needs to rush to get paperwork done on a kitty child support suit. Just wait until it's 100% safe.
** The idea that Spot can regularly get out of Data's quarters without his knowledge really tests suspension of disbelief. My cat has never gotten out of my apartment once, and I don't live on a starship.
*** Your case is not representative of all cat owners. Some of us have had cats that couldn't escape from a house even if you left the door open, and some of us have had cats that could enterpractically teleport into and leaveout atof sealed rooms. The one thing that cat owners will despiteagree locks,on dead-bolts,is andthat theif besta effortscat is not in your direct line-of-sight then you can ''never'' multiplebe peopleentirely tocertain keepwhere themit insideis.
*** Apparently this is just something cats can do in ''Star Trek''. The EU establishes that they're the only animal that can routinely slip out and go about the ship pretty much as they please. Cats do have that reputation as irrepressible creatures of mystique, after all.
** Data did not spay his cat. Bob Barker would not approve.
