What’s the difference between a pussy willow and a pussycat?
For a pussy willow, being alive is growing from a seed in the ground. It
is having roots to get water from the ground. It is staying in one
place, for pussy willows can’t move around. It is having green leaves
that take in the summer sunlight and use it to make food. It is having
seeds from which new pussy willows may grow.
That’s the way of pussy willows. They are plants.
For a pussycat, being alive is being born, and eating, and growing. It
is moving around. It is learning about other animals, and playing and
making noises. It is growing up and having little kittens.
That’s the way of pussycats. They are animals.
