Curls up on my lap and let's me scritch and kiss him and refocus my energies. He is a true blessing.

(46,051 posts)Does he let you rub his tummy? That's my favorite thing to do with a kitty?
Both he and Gryff love tummy scritches. Madoc does, when he forgets that he doesn't. He's more of a chin scritch guy.

(21,487 posts)His markings are very similar to a previous cat of mine. That cat had long legs and big ears as a kitten, too. When he was full grown, he weighed 20 pounds and none of it was extra for his frame and size. The vet techs used to joke that they needed a whip and chair to handle cats that big. But he was a sweetheart, easy going and charming.
We never even took him to the vet's in a carrier. He sat calmly on my lap, making friends with the dogs and cats in the waiting room, until we were called.
