Tanuki for Me

I am going for a visit with Sarah, Penny, Abby, David and Kristen. Plus a cat. Not sure yet about the cat. But! Alice says the cat is nice. I hope so. Meanwhile, Alice says she will be thinking about me while she is away for a few days. Maybe a tanuki like this one will look after me? Alice says one always looks out for me and all other furry pets who are loved by people.
