It is hard for a xenobiologist to not get too attached to her subjects. Indeed I find myself making quite the pets out of the gangly pair. They are adorably comically proportioned. It’s a wonder that we don’t begin an industry to make carrying kittens in their shape. Smaller of course to fittheir nape into our kittens’ mouths.

I spend a lot of my day watching out the window over the streaming mass of them. The whole species is rather canine I find. They distribute their fat in distinctive ways, some on the belly making them look at though they are about to have a litter of 10. Some carry it on their back end. Some evenly distribute the weigh throughout or like a pile of cat treats with a narrow top and spreading wide towards the bottom. Or a reversed pyramid of cat treats. excuse me. Snack break.
