Galoshes

I've never really understood footwear. They make it impossible to climb trees, and difficult to get a good running start.

But I can see the attraction of galoshes. No cat I know likes getting his feet wet. I can't even describe what it's like to get water in between your toes, soaked into that fur. And, let me tell you, the ground is cold up here in the PNW.

So, although I hounded Sam to eschew these ridiculous things, I have recanted. The galoshes have my blessing.
