We recently captured a once-in-a-lifetime alignment of three furry planetary objects from the Felis catus and Prionailurus bengalensis galaxies.

Behold the Luci black hole, the Solo constellation, and the Jon Snow comet in a single frame.

My life is complete now.

A black domestic cat, a snow bengal cat, and a brown tabby cat viewed from behind are lined up in close proximity to each other. All three cats are curiously staring at an unknown animal (chipmunk, most likely) through the screened wall of a porch.

Jon Snow’s whiskers are so big they need their own zip code.

My first thought.

a man in a blue suit looks out the window of a car

Alt: Two ladies’ men in shiny suits headed out for a night on the town, nodding their heads in synchrony to dance music on the car radio. Scene from the movie “A Night at the Roxbury.”

The purpose of education is to unlearn whatever bullshit our ancestors were feeding everybody. A broad education is essential to life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness, and is in the best interest of every species on the planet.

Jon Snow is charging some secret solar cells that he hides in his belly. Look at that lazy fluff nugget! Love me some Jon Jon.

A brown tabby is comfortably stretched out against one side of a screened porch, sunning his belly. He’s looking at the camera with a sleepy face.

Luci and Jon Snow are relaxing together on the new (to us) vintage wicker lounger outside on the screened porch. They are willing to tolerate each other if it means they can share the bed. It is pretty comfy.

A black cat and a brown tabby are peacefully lounging together on a vintage wicker daybed. They are dappled in sunlight beaming through vines of English ivy. The black cat looks at the camera but the brown tabby is indifferent to the paparazzi.

I adore David Suchet so he’d get my vote. I was honored to spend a little time with him at the Ahmanson Theatre in Los Angeles in 1999 when he played Salieri. I found him to be very kind, engaging, and personable, and I remember our chat fondly.

Your friend is astute. I would contend that the book is always going to be better for this particular film.
