My offer of hugs is a continuing one, if those are so desired. The anniversary of my own maternal grandfather's loss is not far away at all.
They are very much appreciated. *hugs* for your own remembrance.
Did I read correctly at some point that he's an eight-toed polydactyl sprite of a gentlebeing? Those are some impressive paws, Autolycus.
He has eight toes on each front paw, five on the back. He effectively has thumbs. He grew adept in using them to pick up bottlecaps, put them in his mouth, and carry them around the house until he could play with them. (He also understands the theory of unscrewing them from the tops of bottles, but has never managed to get the leverage to do it. We used to watch him as a young cat put his paws up on either side of a bottle of seltzer and try.)
