I am normally a cat person but Otousan is just too cute to resist him. ^^
By the way, are there any famous cat books?

Kaikun’s “big job” outside of the Shit building is hilarious.
Likewise, the emoji depicting an animated pile of poo on my Softbank keitai (complete with “stink waves” and a little fly) is also a great source of amusement.
Too bad that phone won’t work in the US, there are times I could use something more expressive than a smiley-face
