I was searching through old photos and came across this of Allen.

I think his feelings are very well expressed, don't you? :D
Poor guy was an only cat at the time, and he had to endure all our affections (which he did NOT want) so picking him up always ended up looking like that.
Then we got Pouncer and he became SOOOO much more affectionate and lets me hold him now.
