@Readergrrl Venkman has already found his way into my #wintersolsticeswap blanket. I guess I don‘t mind sharing, he‘s too cute to disturb. He says thank you as well 😸.

Readergrrl Oooh! His little ears! I want to smoosh him! My cat tolerates my smooshing only so far!! 2y
Soubhiville @Readergrrl he‘s a very snuggly cat, and would welcome your smooshes. He demands to be picked up when we get home from work, and stands around complaining while we eat dinner because that‘s the one time he‘s not allowed on our laps. As soon as a plate is set down he jumps back up. Rather demanding! 😹 2y
