Highly glorified mutt. Mostly greyhound but fuzzier. Some bearded
collie and Saluki in there. Gorgeous beast, but since greyhound is the
dominant breed, a danger to own unless you have a large fenced in area
in which it may run--if let it off-leash and you'll most likely never
see it again.

For he purrs in thankfulness when God tells him he's a good Cat.
For he is an instrument for the children to learn benevolence upon.
For every house is incomplete without him, and a blessing is lacking in the spirit.
