Like jazzcat for Scout, I have to post this a day early. But he won't mind.

A year and about a week ago, a bedraggled, skinny, but handsome little cat-man showed up on a co-worker's doorstep. A year ago tomorrow, that kitten came to live with me and my husband, and became known as Rizzo!

Here he is on his first full day with us:


And here he is today, with the same toy for reference:


And here's one of his biiiiiig feet, 'cause I just love them to pieces:


It didn't take us long to realize that we had really lucked out. Rizzo has to be one of the best cats in the history of the universe (no bias--really! ). He's our friendly, talkative, seal-fetching, purry, personality-laden, ultra-gentle, super-lovable little cat man!

We love you Rizzo! I'm glad you showed up on that doorstep!
