I assign cats. Surely I've already assigned kittens, but I speak now of cats; from the most carefully bred of pure domestics to the sleekly lethal large and wild specimens one could very easily wake shivering over dreams over...
Their ability to shift instantaneously from a sun lit nap to razor-sharp claw-bearing attack mode. Their affection... sometimes. The way they watch everything with such marvelous disdain. How they have nothing at all against being cosseted but are fully capable of independent survival.
Sleek forms with the sun shimmering over glossy fur, sliding across surfaces like beads of mercury.
Endless curiosity. Their fantastically mysterious ability to get out of tough situations.
Their reactions to water.
The sound of content purring.
