Alito's cats might be playing him

Justice Alito has two new grandbabies and appears to be having fun on the court, to whatever extent he is capable of fun. He isn't riding roller coasters and giggling. He's not a giggler, that one.

So the list of people who truly know is short. It includes Mrs. Alito and the justice himself. It also includes the three cats he claims: one lives in his house, and two are strays he feeds but calls his cats.

Whether those two strays are being fed by a whole lot of houses in the neighborhood is an open question, and they may just be playing him. Unless you're one of those mammals, you don't know.
