Ebby is beautiful!!! Of our 9 only Leroy has been a lap kitty. Lucky was the cat that lived in our house for 18 months before I was allowed to even touch him! He is now 3 years old and just in the last month he has become a LOVE MUFFIN! I never thought it would happen so I understand your excitement! Hang in there because he convinced me that just when you think you have them figured out they let you know that you don't!!!!!
