The ruler of the Universe waited for as long as he could. When he heard the faint sound of the ship's engines starting he spoke to cover it.
"It's nothing to do with me,'' he said, "I am not involved with people. The Lord knows I am not a cruel man.''
"Ah!'' barked Zarniwoop, "you say `The Lord'. You believe in something!''
"My cat,'' said the man benignly, picking it up and stroking it, "I call him The Lord. I am kind to him.''
"Alright,'' said Zarniwoop, pressing home his point, "How do you know he exists? How do you know he knows you to be kind, or enjoys what he thinks of as your kindness?''
"I don't,'' said the man with a smile, "I have no idea. It merely pleases me to behave in a certain way to what appears to be a cat. Do you behave any differently? Please, I think I am tired.''
