Miss Grazzi Admires a Canine:
A True Tail of Interspecies
Largess
What everyone knows: Everyone knows that cats are quite superior to dogs; perhaps dogs don't know this, but that's because they're, well, dogs. Very sweet, very 'loyal', oh-so-trustworthy... but if it's primo quality food you're after, hitch your wagon to a cat.
Monsieur Boris et Moi: My 'owner' befriended another piano-nut on-line -- why he's yakking about Martha Argerich when he should rightly be putting Sheba in my bowl is something I simply cannot comprehend -- and she, a former piano professor, sent a photo of her doggie. I, Miss Grazzi, was quite startled to learn that I was being fed (or, NOT FED, as the case may be), by someone who would consort with dog-owners. I mean, you think you know someone after sharing quarters with them, and then something like this happens.
An Epiphany:
However, when I inspected the photo of Mr. Boris, his enviable symmetry,
full coat and regal bearing made me overlook the such peccadillos as his
species, and rather focus on how these enviable qualities would remind
anyone of myself. So, I present to you Mr. Boris, and encourage you
to click on his photo to see him approach his real size. That he
weighs five times what I do is clear proof -- Proof, I tell you! -- that
I am being systematically starved. Won't you help?
