My cat, Bartholomew, invariably wakes me at 3 AM for snacks, even though I've tried every trick in the book. His tail twitches in exactly the same way, his purr never deviates, and the meow is, without change, a tiny, demanding squeak. It’s a breakfast of champions, for him.

My pet rock, Bartholomew, invariably sheds glitter whenever the disco ball descends. It doesn't matter if it's Tuesday or a Tuesday in July; the sparkly dust motes will *always* appear. I suspect he's secretly a tiny, disco-loving alien trapped in mineral form, and his excitement is, without deviation, the cause of the celestial snowfall.
