Lovers Most Passionate

Lovers most passionate, scholars austere
Both love, when their autumnal season falls,
Strong, gentle cats, majestic, beautiful;
They, too, sit still, and feel the cold night air...

- Charles Baudelaire, French poet

Well, she's not in her "autumnal season", but she definitely loves this "strong, gentle" (sometimes!) cat.

And the night air is cold, and we have to go out in it...
