Certain Cat Characteristics 



cat was inconsolable. For days afterward he used to 

 go to the pine tree and miouw piteously for his pretty 

 bird; he refused food and grew thin and dejected, 

 and although everything possible was done to save 

 him, he finally died, having literally grieved himself 

 to death over the death of his beloved Peter. 

 And yet, cats are without affection !
