Charlie ADORES his kitties! He and Joey (my couch kitty) have been bestest friends since Charlie met him almost 2 years ago. He's very gentle, except when he's chewing on his kitties... But even then they just end up wet and slobbery! Arthur has met the kittens thru the babygate, but not face to face yet. After Katie beat him up, I think he's a little wary.
