"Hodge who sits folded into himself and perfectly still, gazing with narrow golden eyes into the mid-distance - a tiny, plushy sphinx. He has a ball of a head, a body like a plump velvet teardrop, wide and innocent paws, a fat tail. 'Mrkgnao,' he cries, like the cat in Molly Bloom's basement, when he's hungry. He flops into sleep. 'Eck?' he says softly, if he half-wakes, 'eck?'"
- Nuala O'Faolain, Are You Somebody?

Cats don't have to be put on pedestals - they put themselves there. (Anonymous
