And a bonus Gus photo. Someone knows how to live life for comfort.
Gus is such a handsome cat!

I can’t wait ’till spring. He chameleons to a floral pattern.

Gus, my life will not be complete until I get to kiss that little round white head of yours many, many times!
Gus sends you his very warm regards! 🙂
