Every year, one or two new animals move into this house.  There is a macaw, a
cockatiel, and two parakeets.  Moreover, there were three small lizards and a
betta, but they all died as small lizards and bettas will do.  Last but not
least, there is the cat.  Next will come the corn snake.  It all started with
the cat though.

Zoomorphism, I am therefore inclined to assert, is what has happened to my
house.
