You wrote www.donnawilliams.net/notthinkinginpics.0.html "The cat was a leg, an ear, a tail, an experience of pattability and a noise with associated movement, but no whole cat." When did you first realize you were not seeing the whole cat? (This question is of course not specific to a cat. It's a question about perceiving parts vs the whole, and I ask about the cat because this is what you wrote about). You mention "but no whole cat" ... how then were you able to know it was a cat, or, did you not know? In childhood, is this when you experienced this? And then later in adulthood you realized what was happening as a child? Do you still experience objects (cats or whatever) in this way, at times? Donna,
