I must ask that you indulge me in a brief foray into the genre of nature documentation/kitty pics.  This is supposed to be a dignified blog.

My parents, with whom I am presently staying, have three charming felines.  Neo, a mostly gormless, floppy black cat the size of a Mercedes; Mab, a tiny, skittish grey tabby with the daintiest white triangles on her eyebrows; and Henry, a proud and saucy beast with a fishhook tail and magnificently fluffy thighs.

I beg your indulgence while I present a pictorial essay on the Fluffybum – phoophyii glutea majora, I believe is the correct term.

Thank you.  Regular, serious, dignified blogging will return shortly. Maybe not right away, but shortly.
