Ah, dear Mr. Smiley. What can we say about someone who we have known for such a short time?

He drifted into our lives, his expression of joy lifting our hearts as surely as the wonder of helium lifted him.

He peered at us over a bannister, hung out with us in a bathroom, and took up residence next to Peanut's home, thereby becoming the most cheerful next-door neighbor a cat has ever had. And all the while, his grin stretched from seam to seam.

Mr. Smiley, although your chosen Peanut may have seemed indifferent to you, we all know better. You've brightened her life to a sunny shade of canary yellow. You just can't tell because...well, cat smiles aren't that obvious. Yeah, that's it.



Aw, c'mon, reinflate him. You know you want to!
