Looking foolish does the spirit good. The need not to look foolish is one of youth's many burdens; as we get older we are exempted from it more and more, and float upward in our heedlessness, singing Gratia Dei sum quod sum. (John Updike, Self-Consciousness: Memoirs, 1989, Ch. 6)

Lilliputnikskaya
Meet Lilliputnikskaya -- Lilli to you -- the latest addition to our household. She's charming, ferocious and friendly. Pocahontas, our other cat, is still pretty vigorously defending her seniority status, but Lilli spent the first few months of her life as the Alpha Female in a litter that lived under someone's house in the country. She's got plenty of street smarts and can take care of herself.
