thank you for saying that kk.....i feel i am sooo lucky to have "found" him.....he is soooo velcro.....just such a loving kitty...perhaps that is a persian thing? my strippys arent like that except when they want to be.....brum is always loving and velcro! quite a change-up for me and i am loving it....he is such a tiny, loving wonderful little boy!......glad he sorta fits with his "place" name thanks for telling me that!!
