Not even Godzilla--in a good mood--imagined he could manage that.

Should you get around to Cleveland Amory's trilogy re travels with his cat Polar Bear: note that he avers that all cats have three names. He spent first year?
after snatching this hissing-foundling away from some trash cans in NYC, thence washing him to discover that this grey mizzuble looking critter was Snow-white!
(..at no small cost in scratches) ... to discover what he Wanted to be called.

Tux aka Vincent Shadow Tuxedo, perhaps the calmest neutered-male evah ..also has the sharpest claws seen near a bio-microtome. Which he never uses
..except when mousing; can get a small scratchlet just running a finger across. (Clever-lad: don't think I want to piss him off; works for him :-)

It's a Puzzlement! but funny thing, I really don't Miss all that info==antithetic to say, Feynman's omni- Curiosity wherever his eyes fell.)

*Hey! didja know that your Great-grate-irascible Grandfather shot Justice in-her-pretty-blue-dress? waay-back.

(Somewhere there is/was another son of my Pater--even my Aunt didn't know his whereabouts at time of her death); a collective which would have been the last ..to obsess over one of those family-Tree thngs. Did they know too much/or too little? Puzzlement #2 I guess.
