Aristocat

Lymond and his Can-Opener, Lynn Kerstan...

Lymond

My name is Lymond, Monsieur le Comte de Sevigny.

I am an aristocat, a well-bred specimen of the noble Abyssinian breed, with all the beauty, arrogance, and noblesse oblige that befits my position. Presently, I live in Coronado, California with a reasonably dutiful Can-Opener who attends all my needs, if not all my desires. To be candid, I will never pardon her for the Unfortunate Neutering Incident.

She did, however, present me with a multi-layered throne known by her breed as a Cat Tree and a large window through which I may view the humans, dogs (a great many dogs), seagulls, crows, and other birds that wander by. Most days, I bask in blades of sunshine and nap in the lap of luxury.

The Can Opener

But so not think I fail to earn my keep (although I shouldn’t be compelled to do so). The C-O writes stories that become books that people like, and I add lustre to her career by hosting her website and blogging at StoryBroads. If she pleases me, I may learn to Tweet. I do wish she’d write more stories about cats, however. Some appear in her books, but it is not a sufficiency. I was excited when she produced the Golden Leopard, Heart of the Tiger, and The Silver Lion. At last, cats are the stars of the story! But nooo. They play a symbolic role, helping delineate the natures of the characters. Housecats play a part as well, and two of them save two of the humans. Later, in a different book, their kittens help bring two lovers together.

I hope many kind humans will band together to save Miss Mousie. I shall certainly do my own part, as will my C-O.

For now, it is my naptime. Au revoir, mais amis.

Lymond, Monsieur le Comte de Sevigny
