As mentioned before, a local church gave me a Beanie Baby to cuddle. I.passed it along to a nephew. He gave it a big kiss, so I suggested they bring him to the zoo one evening when the real snow leopards are awake so he could see how kissable they find him. Feeling that left me bereft of cuddly things, for Christmas my girls gave me a very cuddly teddy bear and a furry brown throw, so I’m a cuddly teddy bear, too. And too warm. ---

I find it works better if you leave them in the freezer for 14 to 21 minutes. ---

On Winter evenings they get roused from their daytime stupor to pay special attention to children. Nothing new there, since leopards have always preyed on hominids. As a larger example of breed I have attracted too much attention from tigers, with one slamming against his bars, trying to eat me.
