Tang Yue took two seconds to recall what mad cow disease was. It wasn't a disease that humans could be infected with. And cows that got hit with it had their brain and spinal cord destroyed. This eventually led to mental problems and death. Tang Yue ruminated over this for a moment and realized that the cat was just secretly cursing it for being a stupid cow without brains.
"I suspect that you are cursing me, but I don't have the evidence to do so."
"I'm not cursing you," Tomcat said. "Think about it carefully. Doesn't becoming a traveler that chases sandstorms over the vast desert on this planet sound romantic? I will record this down, and in billions of years, you will become a god that is worshiped by intelligent Martian life. You will be like what Tolkien once said: 'History became legend. Legend became myth.'"
"Another Great Salvation Bodhisattva of Mars?" Tang Yue stood under the lead-gray sky. "Garfield Shaman Ritual."
