Minow is a longtime friend of mine who I met on the farm on which I grew up. To this day I am impressed with the way he carries himself; he is from an age where cats learned to wear their fur instead of letting their fur wear them. Just look at how effortlessly he pulls off the "paint-dip" look at the end of his tail. A true eccentric.
