On the one hand, I certainly never meant to bring the antenna itself into it, and must apologize for expressing myself so poorly that that's what you thought I thought you meant. Perhaps my analogies were poorly chosen.
On the other hand, that is an absolutely adorable kitten seriousfic posted. Have you looked at it? I mean really looked at it? It's all fuzzy and has those serious-eyes, and the cute stubby lil tail and paws, and it is posed such that it appears to be drinking through a straw. Adorable on every level.
There was another "on the other hand", but kitten.
