Three years later, he's been healthy, happy and the friendliest little fella for a long time, gets along beautifully with his three adopted feline siblings, two brothers and one sister.  He's intrigued but still wary of his little humanoid brother, though, who chases him while squealing "Cobija!  Cobijita!" ("Blanket!  Little blanket!"). BTW, Guruji.  Guru = teacher, ji = the diminutive.  Guruji = My little teacher, term of respect and affection in Hindu. Oh, what the hell, it's Caturday... here he is with his sister, my beloved 13-year-old Bebita, my avatar.

I can only think the primary design principle is to discourage changing channels. My mom has DirectTV too, those remotes have the worst ergonomics.
