Vaya, Et al.,
OMG I would have sworn you stole my baby Darwin! My boy is the most well behaved cat I have ever had and seen in my life. Him and I have an unbreakable bond. I raised him by myself from a wee kitten who just opened his eyes so he was only days old. I had to bottle feed him and teach him how to go to the bathroom (little factoid I didn't know at first, kittens that are that young do not know how to use the muscles to use the bathroom so the mother cat would lick them there to stimulate the muscles to do that, and I actually had to do that with Darwin, noo you sick-o's I did not use my tongue!). He lets me do what ever I need to with no complaint, I can brush him, clean his eyes and nose when he gets allergies, clean his inner ears with a q-tip, brush his teeth with a real toothbrush, clip his claws, and walk him outside on a leash!! lolol...
On a more serious note, he has also saved my life. He is so passionate for me that he gets separation anxiety when I am not home, if I am in the hospital and not home for a few days, he gets so unbelievably happy when I come home that he will stay with me every where I go, he will sleep right next to me when Im still not feeling well. He knows when I am sad as when I am laying down crying, he will jump up and lay on my chest, and (no joke) will put his paw over my mouth as if to say, "It's ok Daddy, no need to cry". OMG that alone almost brings me to tears, but he is so special to me and is so well behaved and actually shows me how appreciative he is of me in so many ways, that when I was really really sick a couple years ago, he is the only reason I forced myself to get healthier and better. Even when things in my life go so bad that I considered pulling my own plug, he would never leave my side, all of that put together of him is why I am still alive today as I could never leave him. He is too near and dear to my heart and I love him to death and I know he feels the same way about me...
So here is a couple pics, hope you all think he is as adorable as me!!
