We cats are not generally in favor of historic places burning down, but we're willing to make an exception in this case.
Louisiana's Nottoway Resort, the largest antebellum plantation in the South, was destroyed on Thursday. Since it was marketed as a wedding and special-event venue with nary a mention of the suffering that enslaved people endured there, we're not crying salty tears over its obliteration. In fact, considering how much hostility the current Republican Administration shows toward Americans of color, it's easy to be sympathetic to all the local folks who posed for gleeful selfies with the burning plantation house.
Our country is so hell-bent on going to right-wing hell today that the loss of Nottoway, believe it or not, makes us cats grin. We don't actually love it. But this particular bit of karma makes us PURR.
