He's big, a definite lap full. He follows us around from room to room. He's laying about five feet away as I type this. I've loved and lived with cats most of my life, but the bond with Obi feels different. I can certainly understand the breed's popularity-- I wouldn't want to not live with one now, if Obi is generally indicative of the whole breed. It's not just his temperament or his size. He has a presence, a calm gravitas that I love.
