Gizmo-
From your sweet picture of that beautiful tortoiseshell face, I could tell that you had a very good home and that you were happy. You even chose you human. You "proudly" walked up and she/he just had to pick you!
You can be a little bit of a bed hog at times, but that way you get extra cuddles! You have known your human almost their whole life, so you have an unbreakable bond. I hope you have many more fun times to come and many more years together!
