Last night, I dreamt that Neil Gaiman had just written a new novel, and one of the characters had four cats, and they were based on James Nicoll's cats. I think Hillary and one other one were lifted verbatim, and the other two were composites.

Also, happy birthday to Mr. Gaiman; he was the lede bit on Garrison Keillor's "Writer's Almanac" for today.
