So, this might be considered somewhat pretentious. I pride myself with having a twisted mind. This presentation aims to share some of the twistedness with the help of my cats. Please feel free to comment. Hope that this presentation might inspire a thought or two or at the very least give you an insight of how cool and philosophical devon rex cats really are =)
