"Never steal anything that needs to be walked, watered, or cleaned up after."
So cats are cool then? (It's cool to be a cat?)

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

I guess if you don't let your cats have water you don't have to worry about cleaning their poop for very long.

"To water" implies some regular action on your part. Making sure there's water around, should kitty want to drink some, does not imply action, or maybe occasional action. At least that's how I rationalize it.

Horses are to be kept fed and watered...that's kinda how I was reading it.

The Talmudic debates that could break out at every theft opportunity amuse me. "No, no, it can get its own water, we can steal it." "No, we have to clean up after it, we can't steal it." "Well, what does it really mean, to clean up after?"

Actually, I say that I'm watering (and foddering) the cats all the time. But then they often sound like a small herd of cattle, hence my confusion.

ita - a last minute thought. If you added a lock to your costume, instead of being a can-can girl, you would be a won't won't girl.

Hey Susan - here's what my sis has to say on the music question:
Ha! Well, I could tell you what I know of off the top of my head, but I also just happen to have my Grout & Palisca “History of Western Music” sitting right next to me.
Basically – Haydn would have been the big dude of the day for concertos, quartets and symphonies (of which he wrote 104. a HUNDRED AND FOUR!!! Crackpot) If your friend is looking for British facts specifically, he wrote the twelve “London” symphonies there in the 1790’s.
Mozart’s music was also very popular, although he was known by the public as a trickster (he was broke and would often take lots of commissions and then put off writing), and then he died of syphilis. Seriously. He was 36 maybe?
Beethoven was like 20 years old at this time and just starting to write quartets and choral music.
Both Mozart and Beethoven studied with Haydn.
