even though the cats who chose me were usually calicos and gingers.

A thousand or so years ago when I was skinny and a looker, I was sketch material for artist friends. My favorite was one of me with a friend's lap panther draped very artistically across my lap, totally relaxed and out cold. It was very Erté and I've always wondered what happened to it. The artist was a friend, but I couldn't afford any of his stuff or I'd have bought that one.

That cat was total lap fungus.
