OMG! What beautiful pics and such a handsome fellow--the cat, I mean, not the other man in your life. He I suppose is servant to this elegant feline.
Your narrative reminded me of a feature they used to run in the Reader's Digest when I was growing up, "My Most Unforgettable Character". In your case, it's a cat. Who knew? He seems quirky, irascible and totally loveable. This ia great piece of writing. Congrats!
