I’ve always considered myself following the spirit of the great cats, specifically Mountain Lions. Aloof, reserved, a little grumpy. Not flashy or flamboyantly dressed, just practical, going about my business. Also, kind of lazy, until I need to do something. I’m even kind of cute and if you’re brave enough to try to pet me, I purr (snore) like a thunderstorm.

Most importantly, they play. With everything that goes into surviving, it helps keep things in perspective. Sometimes you need to chase a mouse in a pile of leave, just for the fun of it. The mouse probably has a different opinion though.
