I’ve discovered that, even if Cyril’s existence appears to be like beautiful chilled and unfastened from pressure, it’s additionally beautiful uninteresting. I’m additionally no longer certain that I may devour the similar meals on a daily basis with the extent of enthusiasm displayed by way of my cats; no longer having autonomy over my foods could be a deal breaker for me! I may most certainly get used to the entire naps even though!
