Dearest Belang, if ever I saw a cat ready for action it is you! You look like a coiled spring! I get the feeling that if somebody incautiously said "ffftttt," you would explode off the couch, run up the curtains, and swing from the chandelier, with your eyes popping out and your tail like a bottlebrush--all in playfulness, of course.

Speaking of tails, I'm sure your mama would have mentioned it if you were a bobtail, so I bet there's more tail behind you than the photo indicates. You are the stripiest, orangiest, biggest-eyed and cutest guy I've seen in a long time, and I wish you all good things, as well as a long, healthy, and happy life.
