- Thus, if I normally judge that something is a cat and therefore an animal on the basis of it being a warm, furry, purry creature that looks like a cat, then I will go seriously wrong in a world where robocats who are also warm, furry, and purry abound.2001, Carl Elliott, Slow Cures and Bad Philosophers, page 86
