Quite so.

Yes indeed; but I'll have to hire an artist........I'm recalling that some
years back someone published a "Future Bestiary" with illustrations of
various _possible_ animals, all quite weird. And in Edgar Pangborn's novel
"Davy" (post-nuclear-apocalypse), the hero has a companion animal, a large
mutated Siamese cat. A very interesting book BTW, as is most of Pangborn's
work.
