             In 
              the still darkness, Little Polaris exhibits a practicality all his 
              own.  His eyes invariably shine when they meet yours, as if 
              they were somehow particles of the stars, drifting down to cheer 
              you.  As you mull over the significance of such delightful 
              camouflage, hold his paw, and calm yourself, and him.  Notice 
              how polar-like the little pads, that he may better grip, and not 
              slip, on the slick surfaces where his private life unfolds.  
              Perhaps you have much in common?  Finally the question is, 
              "who's cuddling whom?"  Does it matter?  Does 
              anything matter when you're holding someone tight...in the night?
