Can you tell how much your children resent you?
Meet Pico. My adopted son, found chipped and abandoned in a car park during a 45°C Dubai summer in September 2024.

He was seven months old, a half-munchkin, half-British shorthair dwarf cat with the attitude of a disgruntled landlord.
He loves me. He hates this raincoat.
But here’s the thing. He helped me understand why people have children: to dress them in things they despise and make them pose for photos they never agreed to.
To anyone raising little creatures (human, animal, alien or otherwise) solidarity. They’re all babies in the end.
