Laila has long held a fascination with the cat, who is always just out of reach (wisely so: she grabs fistfuls of hair, Anna's and Salim's, and loves to pull hard. And the cat cannot grow hair any longer.) Today she came within an inch of successfully pulling his tail.
But she came only within an inch, and could not quite reach him. In this photograph, you can see the spreading bald spot along his spine. As his summer coat falls out, no new hair is growing in its place. He likes curling up under the blankets on our bed.
