Hi Phyllis
Of course I am only having a bit of fun on a lazy Saturday afternoon.
Whether Lila is alive or not is totally irrelevant, I agree. Speaking of
being facetious, do you think a dead cat is configured by DNA? I've just
read Struan Hellier's review of Lila's Child:
Now, I have cats myself, but all mine are alive. It's true that in the past
I've had some cats that have died for various reasons but I buried them. I
don't really know if they are still being configured by DNA or not, but I
don't think they are (I'm not digging them up to find out). Maybe a
biologist like Jonathan could answer that one. :)
