Naughty Fritz

My, Fritz, why are your ears so big?

Fritz has the biggest ears in all of kittydom. Ever since he was born, people have assumed he has superior hearing. Which is strange, because if  you, for example, have a big nose, people don't assume you can smell better.

So, truth is, Fritz's hearing is just as good or bad as any other cat's. But he embraces the assumption about his hearing and pretends that he can hear the gossip whispered by other cats in faraway cities, the plots dogs are planning in neighbouring countries and the talks amongst mice in foreign places.

Yes, Fritz makes all of these conversations up. He likes how his fellow cats take his word for it when he tells them what their faraway friends, foes or food are saying. The other felines in his town all but worship him. They lavish him with milk and kitty kibbles. All the tabbies adore him. You will too, even if he is a bit naughty.
