I surprised Lou with a selfie in his favorite human spot, the sitting up, under the person's arm.

I call it the Teddy Bear. It's good for both reading and writing next to their person. Lou is difficult to discourage. I can move around.

Listen and Read:

No two alike applies to snowflakes and cats. I think this quality is especially striking in living things.

Snowflakes form and drift down from the clouds, unchanged. Until they melt into water, and lose their distinction.

Living things can develop an essential Self. This, the snowflake lacks. That’s why it loses uniqueness upon transformation.
