Awww. I think that looks definately are deceiving. My Father-in-Law is a big biker dude too (complete with a doo-rag that says "If you can read this, the b@#$% fell off.) He has many tatoos and was a world champion weight lifter. Let me tell you, nobody would want to run into him in a dark (or lighted) Alley. You should see this guy when it comes to his goldfish.. if there's such a thing as a portable tank, I'm sure he'd slap it onto the back of his bike! This is the largest goldfish I've ever seen and he's had it for years - ever since it was an itty bitty goldfish.

My son sorta does the same thing with Allen. He ADORES Allen and Allen returns it to him (not to the rest of us though) Allen will come up to him, lay down and roll over, meow and demand a belly rub... nobody else gets this action. My son is a sports jock and has lots of Division I schools looking at him for their running programs... yeah, the boy runs 10Ks for a nice Sunday jog, but try to get him to walk the dog?

Too cute story! Did you tell the friend that he was impressive and ask him if he had a girlfriend that appreciated this? You know that if he's this way with his kitten that he's going to make a superb husband and father!!!
