I think this argument rests on the (mistaken) belief that someone is arguing against the proposition that DP Orlanthi like cats (mutatis mutandis, sheep...). Haven't noticed this, myself, and will merrily stipulate that yes, the DP Orlanthi like cats... Rather, some question, to what level does their insane hatred against dogs (m.m. goats) rise? And furthermore, even a particular level of violent dislike, how _consistent_ is this from clan to clan, and how successfully has it been carried out as a policy of pan-species genetic cleansing across a moderately large, culturally diverse, and orthographically crinkly piece of land.
Apparently some can carry forth this chain of reasoning and conclude that there's not a dog (much less, goat) alive in all of Kerofinela. This surprises me a little, though OTOH on the Richter Scale of Unlikely Human Belief Systems, it's far from The Big One.
Cheers,
Alex.
