It sounds like the scale, however wacky, is determined strictly by
pragmatics / context - eg. the whole universe is a scale - so my non-cat
could be anything (which would be good because probably most non-cats
wouldn't leave fur everywhere) - When I talk about my non-cat I could be
talking about a toaster, an extinct species of tentacled hominids, or the
crab nebula.  I guess this really applies in any language, though, LOL
