He and his brother were little sweet kittens. This one grew into a big-hearted, clumsy, demanding monster. Affectionate, yes. Demonstrates it by slamming his huge body into my old soft one. Generous, yes. Will bring me toys, usually not-meant-to-be toys, to share with me in a game of fetch. Cheerful, yes. Leaps onto my unwell sleeping body in an ecstasy of greeting.
He is not beautiful. Aren’t all cats beautiful? Not this one. He has a funny face. Big flat nose. Eyes that always seem to need cleaning. Giant paws with rarely retracted claws. He has a lot to say.
Also, he is a total innocent.
Bonbon.
