So Far in This Chapter of LITTOC, I've been introduced to a lot of interesting characters and events, but one this really touched me in a way I thought only kittens could. It is revealed that as Dr. Urbino is returning form the late saint-amours that he has a pet Parrot, and this bird is the cats pajamas. Dr. U has showered this bird with more love and attention then he showed his own children; although its not that fact which moved me. apparently the bird is fluent in french, can quote scripture, and even has a vast knowledge of arithmetic, but when the President comes to bare witness to this revered birds, its silent. The President stays for two whole hours, all the while the bird just sits there speechless. I was greatly reminded of the old MGM cartoon about the singing frog, in which the frog could sing and dance, but it would never sing to an audience just his owner. CLASSIC!
