“Real isn’t how you are made. It’s a thing that happens to you when a child loves you for a long time.
Then you become real. Generally, by the time you are Real, most of your hair has been loved off, and your eyes drop out, and you get loose in the joints and very shabby.
But these things don’t matter at all, because once you are Real you can’t be ugly, except to people who don’t understand.”
– from The Velveteen Rabbit {Margery Williams}


And I would concur
OMG, it’s the cat! LOL! Um, you were NOT jokingwith your description. Not.At.All!
