Fred

How do I know his name? It's written on the back of the pin. I frequently identify with Fred because of his doleful - indeed hang-dog - look, which is ALWAYS appropriate when faced with imminent air travel. While I try to avoid attracting attention from the TSA guards (not easy with olive skin), Fred looks miserable for both of us.

Fred comes from the designer who made Skinny Cat and Fat Belly Button Cat, and there's certainly a family resemblance. Fred shares their sympathy-evoking proportions, amplified by the asymmetry of his ears, and is also made of silver. And he's signed, but I'm buggered if I can read it .
