Example:
My Cat Gregory
Gregory is my beautiful gray Persian cat. He walks with pride and
grace, performing a dance of disdain as he slowly lifts and lowers each
paw with the delicacy of a ballet dancer. His pride, however, does not
extend to his appearance, for he spends most of his time indoors
watching television and growing fat.
He enjoys TV commercials, especially those for Meow Mix and 9 Lives. His
familiarity with cat food commercials has led him to reject generic
brands of cat food in favor of only the most expensive brands.
Gregory is as finicky about visitors as he is about what he eats,
befriending some and repelling others. He may snuggle up against your
ankle, begging to be petted, or he may imitate a skunk and stain your
favorite trousers. Gregory does not do this to establish his territory,
as many cat experts think, but to humiliate me because he is jealous of
my friends.
After my guests have fled, I look at the old fleabag snoozing and
smiling to himself in front of the television set, and I have to forgive
him for his obnoxious, but endearing, habits.
