Yes, he actually exists!
Leo is a proud Siberian, and also our family cat, who accidentally or not so accidentally became the source of inspiration for all of the characters in this first book.
Sometimes he acts all shy, but in the next moment he might feel cuddly, playful or adventurous. At other times, he'll practically be ROARING and GROWLING with hunger, but we've learned that is just his snack stomach speaking.
Does he like water?
Well, he does seem to find it intriguing, at least.
