Rolling over laps, bellies and bodies, his mouth smiled most fluently. He felt his best climbing stairs and rolling around wagon wheels. Perching himself at the highest point in a room and looking out over parlors and family rooms was part of his daily routine. Calling him "Little King" was fitting, yet funny. He loved showing off to little ones running around below. The children found him utterly amusing and wished for him to constantly display his tricks. They truly enjoyed watching him "play dead". The parents were always so heavily involved in their academic conversation that they missed out on all the fun. Mr. Hathaway would end by jumping high up several times in a row. He then would choose a book from the various owner's shelves, pretend to read it briefly, while turning the pages with his small paws and then place the book neatly back on the shelf, just as he found it. The giggles rose as well as the sound level of the adult conversation. The children and Mr. Hathway would always treasure this special bond. You are in disbelief? See for yourself!
