“Hey! Hey! I think you’re my agent! Are we going to talk about my new show? Are we? Well, I will! I am Sirus, star of the new hit TV series ‘Crime in the Corners’. What did you think – that I go staring into all the corners for fun!! This is work – crime, suspense, mystery, detective work – all in the corners of this room. I see myself as a cross between Columbo and Kojak – very smart, amusing, a little sneaky, and, of course, totally wonderful. Right now, I am suspecting those two orange dudes – could they be planning a crunchy heist?”

“I’m a pretty big guy, 2 – 3 years old, a very friendly – and talkative – tabby with stylish white for variety. Please note the wizard mark on my forehead – the sign of my intelligence and mystery and, of course, crime-solving talent. People! I love people! Dogs? No, I don’t. I need focus and order – no rumble and jumble and stress, please. It can make me tear my hair out – remember, Kojak was bald….”

“OK, back to my excellent new TV show. My thing, my shtick is that I walk talk with my tail curled forward – like a husky or a chow (dogs – don’t like ‘em) or – hee, a scorpion! But I don’t sting. It’s just my look, my shtick, my brand. And, besides, it’s really cute! When you see the question mark tail, you’ll know it’s Sirus – not Cyrus – Sirus – but I am likely still Great.”

“Say, would you open this door for me? Because I want to see what’s out there. More corners – with more crime! I guess I’ll just have to stick my paws under it and see what I can do to open it myself. I am a Cat. I may be The Cat. Oh, OK, I see a bunch of toys that need tussling. Sirus will tussle them, continue his performance. By the way, did you notice that I have lynx ears?”

“Most TV stars can’t be had for $120. But Sirus can. We’ll film in the corners of your living room and kitchen, and we’ll catch hooligans and brigands. What do you say? Sirus loves ya, baby!”
