On understanding the universe

Juliet has really taken to asking 'why?' and she does it with her own special flair.

For example, an everyday occurrence, like seeing our cat.

J: what is that?
M: our cat. 
J: why is it our cat?
M: because we own him.
J: why do we own him?
M: because we like him.
J: why do we like him?
M: because he is our cat.
J: why is he our cat?
M: ...

Or the ever more perplexing question of 'why is he a cat?'
 Try answering that one to a 3 year old's satisfaction! 

Hint: it's not possible.
