Barnaby’s meticulously organized sock drawer, a testament to his Procrustean tendencies, had a firm rule: all argyle must be paired with identical argyle, and anything even slightly fuzzy was banished to the "unacceptable fuzz-butt" bin. His cat, meanwhile, viewed this enforced conformity with utter disdain, preferring to shed its own fluffy chaos directly onto Barnaby's perfectly folded merino wool.
