This is my cat, Muffy, inquiringly looking at me. He is elegant and refined (enhanced by an aristocratic moustache-like black patch), yet wild and fierce if need be, quiet, supple, self-reliant, independent though at times rather nonchalant, and knows how to let himself be loved (and stroke-rubbed)... all qualities I find desirable in general, and (apart from the stroke-rubbed thing) as a bike commuter or utility cyclist in particular.
