“Animals are seemingly unafraid of death—oh, they fear pain, yes, but not death—and when they are dying make no effort to live. Their bodies accept death with a kind of grace. I hope, if I am to die, that it shall be “naturally,” like a field mouse dangling tail-down from the teeth of a cat: patient and accepting.”

Awkward, quiet and often snarky, this young female likes coffee in her sugar and cream, cats, reading, and making fun of tragedies. She's a mess waiting to happen, so gift her to any relatives you don't particularly like.
