Purr

They come in many colors. Mine are three and different.

One has the colors of the other two. Skittish. No, stand-offish. The one that people say is legend. Vanishes for hours into the otherrealm. Mews like Katherine Hepburn after a few cigarettes and a whisky.

One is all night and water moon eyes. She's nervous and proud and wants to be petted. Her yowl for food is all show. When she curls up she vanishes into the darkness until her curiosity gives her away.

The last is pumpkin squash orange swirls. Oblivious. Curious. Easily lost and more sly than you would guess at first meeting. Talks because I talked to her as a tiny kitten, and since I did then it must be the Right Thing To Do.

All different, all same. All as whimsical as you would expect.
