I had to pull grass out of my cat's butt. I didn't think he'd eaten that much.

That is a chore my cat's have, thus far, spared me. For which I am duly grateful.

He's asleep soundly, I'm still grossed out.

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.
I am very glad my cats don't get outside much.

I'm afraid it is. Or at least it substitues a whole new set of problems. Energy for lighting to replace the free fusion reactor open fields use - the sun. Also when you talk land area, you cannot just count land the new farm building is on How much land was displace to make the steel and glass and concrete. How many trees were cut down for the wood.
There are ways to get the same water savings withou building syscrapers for it. And for that mattter if you want to grow food indoors there is a well known solution that still lets you use that free fusion reactor for lighting - greenhouses.
I could write an 8,000kl word essay on the problems with this - even if it is confiened to veggies. (Note that if you someone tried this with grains and pulses - which is most the overwhelming majority of agricultural land, you run into whole additional sets of problems. Also note that fruit mostly comes from trees. Maybe you can figure out the problem with trying to grow an orchard above the first floor.)

"The fact that we live at the bottom of a deep gravity well, on the surface of a gas covered planet going around a nuclear fireball 90 million miles away and think this to be normal is obviously some indication of how skewed our perspective tends to be."
Is natter dead, or is it just msbelle?

Get rid of the Stuff. You will feel better when the Stuff is gone.
Absofuckinglutely. Get rid of shit. When you're attached to all those little pieces and bits and bobs, you're just dragging yourself down. It is dead weight, a liability, a drag on forward motion. Be an engineer and discover the beauty of jetsam.
Not only is it Not Needed, it is Actively Negative. How do I know this? You're stressing about it! And none of it is necessary for your current well-being.
Consequently it's bad to have it.
Here's how to think of it: None of it is potential Daleks, but all of it is leaking battery acid and lead into your topsoil.

Fourth glass of wine. If Elijah shows up, I hope he is down for Grey's Anatomy.
