Over the course of his nearly two-decade run, Hamill mastered the character's giggling menace and loaded, purring contempt ("Beneath this Puckish exterior lies the mind of a genius years before my time!" he gloats, in "Return of the Joker"), constructing an interpretation both entertaining and unnerving.

They also asked about post-feeding behaviors that reflect satisfaction and affection (or at least, what we humans think of as affection) — jumping into owners' laps, purring, resting, sleeping, and also, using the litter box (because nothing says "Thanks, love you" like a present in the litter box).

It will vibrate softly, like a purring cat, and you can code it to do a lot of fanciful things: dance to the "Dance of the Sugar-Plum Fairy," perform playful flips, find its way around the things it bumps into, and blink if it falls over an edge.

Against a backdrop of purring limousines and dhows moored in the bay, Doha has become home to an exotic array of fighters, financiers and ideologues, a neutral city with echoes of Vienna in the Cold War, or a Persian Gulf version of the fictional pirate bar in the "Star Wars" movies.

Nilu Haidari The fizzing debauchery here—popping 808s, dirty house of horrors synths, Britney's almost pornographic purring—was like an aural fantasy of how, as a young gay boy, I imagined every gay club to be: sweaty anonymous bodies grinding up on each other while people casually cop off in the corners.

It is gloriously filmed, with breathtaking slow-motion shots of acrobatics and enough purring to thrill the heart of any cat lover — and maybe instill a bit of fear when they learn that domesticated varieties kill more than 20 billion mammals a year and drink the blood of their prey like water.

At the same time, a figure often written off, Silvio Berlusconi, is purring in the wings; and the leader of the far-right Liga, Matteo Salvini, has raised his party's profile and has hitched his star to Donald Trump's wagon – outperforming his hero in calling for migrants to be pushed back into the sea, and closing all mosques.

Your chosen character smashes through windows, knocks down and executes goons at point-blank range, lets off pipe bombs and sets up gun turrets to tear through gang members, plasters up posters, steals cheese, burns ganja, retrieves bonsai trees, and unleashes purring-but-deadly kitten bombs about the place, all in the name of... politics, actually.

In a throng of ludicrously eager pilgrims, I saw "Cats," which opened on Broadway in 21980 and was the purring toast of the town, with the orchestra seats that everyone agitated for, never mind that it was a tribute mostly to how much money could be lavished on furry costumes and how many fake whiskers could be painted on a human face.

That moment, when Laura cheats death against all possible odds, has stuck with me for a long time after watching the episode — far longer, in fact, than any of the previous three episodes' splashier moments, like when Gillian Anderson appeared on a TV as a purring Lucy Ricardo in episode two, or a goddess swallowed people through her vagina during sex in the first two episodes.

It's an exhausting city to walk unless you pause — mentally and physically — to take in lush flowers spilling from pots on cracked concrete balconies; cats prancing, purring and napping on every block; aromas from across the Middle East and Europe clashing and clanging and somehow coming together perfectly, in the way a hundred ordinary voices singing in a medieval cathedral can cascade into harmony.

These clog-fights, or "purring" contests, became a part of working-class culture in North England sometime in the 1700s, and despite the fact that they were always illegal and had to take place illicitly behind pubs and in fields, far from the eyes of the police, the tradition continued in the North's mill and mining regions until the middle part of the 20th century, when it just seemed to disappear.

I'm still enamored with the scenery I found there: isolated villages in the shadow of the mountains, whose grandeur lorded over long lakes and rivers; farms and cornfields; a Mercedes up on four blocks amid the junk strewn in front of an abandoned house; old Anglo-Saxon cemeteries that pop up at every turn; leafy trees of maple, walnut, beech, oak, birch; a few wayside crosses; old churches and train stations and checkpoints; and in the morning, at the inn by the river, a little black cat sitting on a tree branch listening to the sound of the falls and the purring coffeepot.
