Persecuted - That's what I am! Persecuted!

"Ollie greets everyone as a dog would by wagging his tail and following people around until they pet him and tell him how beautiful he is." Even after my many lectures on the subject, people continue to write such things and I know the only reason they do so is to persecute me, to torment me, because it ought to be clear to the whole world by now that it just isn't so.

I have no doubt that when beautiful Ollie greets, he puts his tail in motion, presumably with happiness. He may swish that tail, wave it, undulate it, swirl it about from side to side or whip it thoughtfully and gracefully but what he does not do is wag it like a dog. No. When Ollie puts his tail into motion, he does so with so much more grace than any dog wagging its tail could ever muster. Now, this is not a slander of dogs, who are certainly wonderful and affable in their own right but in the wagging of their wagging they simple do not possess the grace exhibited by the cat concerning the motion of its own tail.

Praise be to the kindly and dedicated breeder who could not hide his tears! May your husband go through many pillows!

What is Ollie's "binkie?" The term evokes many possibilities and ought to be cleared up.
