    • 2002, Valdemar Vinar, La skandalo pro Jozefo:
      Sed — ke mi estu justa — unu estaĵo tamen ŝatis min: mia granda longhara nigra virkato, kiu ofte venadis por kuŝripozi sur miaj genuoj; mi karesis ĝin kaj ĝi kontente, obtuze ronronis ĝuante varmon de mia korpo.
      But, to be fair, there was one creature who liked me anyway: my big, long-haired, black male cat, who would often come to lie resting on my knees; I would pet him and he would contentedly, obtusely purr, enjoying my body heat.
