Only thing I like about cats is that, in Buddhism, the cat was said to be the only animal to refuse to bow down to Buddha.  

So I'll give it credit for that at least.

Cats don't bow down to anything, that is, unless they're getting ready to grab it and EAT it.

A man of varied talents which means you can likely whistle Dixie as you clean your muzzleloader. :cowboy:

Then you could say, "He's not just whistlin' Dixie!"

Since cats have been mentioned, I mistyped Cathinfo, leaving out a character (not having actually hit that key when reaching for it) ... and ended up here --

https://catinfo.org/
.
Looks like a useful site for sage advice, from a DVM, with a grateful cat named Robbie. Doesn't have such a bad life:
.
Saying "Thank you" for dinner....................... Checking out tomorrow's handcrafted menu.
.
Author, Lisa Pierson, DVM, explains in detail Robbie's health crisis which she remedied by designing a special diet for him.
The best pets are often those who are rescued from life-threatening situations, as if they're aware they owe everything to you.

Why did you require that one has to have "Trad heroes"? Catholics have as heroes the Lord and his virgin mother Mary, apostles, popes, fathers, saints etc. My special heros are all the fathers of the Vatican Council and of the Council of Trent, St. Pius V. with respect to the mass, and St. Pius X. with respect to modernism. Also I am not a Trad (and they are Catholics). I am a Catholic (and they are the conciliar sect, as Lefebvre appropriately called them). 
.
All throughout history God has provided contemporary living saints for the current generation, whenever it was. 
.
We are not left on our own quasi-Deist-like where everything was set in motion long ago and God is at a vast distance.
.
Although I never met him myself, I met several others who had known Padre Pio firsthand.
.
A great saint has a way of rubbing off on others, their spirit is contagious; this is a very important feature of a living faith.
.
There's only so much you can glean from reading books --- it takes real one-to-one interaction with living people.

Claiming that God has stopped sending us saints, ESPECIALLY in a great time of tribulation like the past 50 years, is also quite foolish. Anyone who suggests something like that must not know God very well.

And if there are saints today, where would we find them? They might be sprinkled here and there, but I guarantee you a bunch of them would be in the Traditional Movement. I've read enough Lives of the Saints to confidently make that prediction. Now we might be surprised about who they are -- quietly praying in the back of the chapel next to their walker (because they are 90 years old and can't walk very well) rather than vesting for Mass in the Sacristy... but I digress.

Nothing against Trad priests today -- I'm just extrapolating from actual Lives of the Saints, and private revelations that have been given to us in the past. I distinctly remember a certain person was shocked to hear from God that the holiest person in the parish was actually a married housewife or something like that. Also, the number of canonized parish priests in the past 200 years: isn't it just the Cure of Ars and maybe Fr. Miguel Pro?
