Haha, glad my ninth grade art class vanishing point skills managed to amaze you:D

While I have you: Maybe you can clarify this myth about smudge for me!? Is it commonly agreed upon that he can talk or just part of your story/special gift?

Oh, and I hope it's okay that (in my mind) I picture you as that bear from the 1973 Disney Robin Hood movie!?:P

Smudge... you mean the cat that hangs out with me? He goes by Smudge with you?

Be careful, he lies a lot, albeit the name part isn't a lie per se. T. S. Elliot got it sort of wrong, cats have *at least* three names, because they sometimes insist that some people call them by one name, and other people by some other name.

Yeah, I'm pretty sure he talks to anyone he fancies talking to. He just has a very cat-ish way of going about it -- he doesn't like to talk unless it's on his own terms. So if you try to strike up a conversation he'll usually ignore you or hiss at you. Then after a few days he'll jump on your table and ask you about the weather or something. Very spooky, I nearly had a heart attack the first time he did it. And I'm sure he talks to other cats, too, although I can't say I comprehend their meowing. His gift, not mine.

That's my favourite incarnation of Little John!
