Love of My life

I got this long haired tux cat as a kitten. Right away Sylvester was his name from my fave childhood cartoon. This cat was truly mine, he only came to me when his name was called. His long furry tail was like a huge black plume pen from years ago. Instant love between us. I lived by myself in an apartment and studying away. Sylvester has a lifesaver shaped gummy toy he brought up into my college book and dropped right into the book and butted my head. I picked it up and threw it and he played catch like a dog ever since to my amazement! My regular boyfriend dumped me, and I was devastated. Sylvester took both legs on either side of my neck, and laid his cheek upon my cheek all night like a huge bear hug to prove someone loved me.

Every morning this crazy cat would see me begin to stir and take his nose to kiss my mouth, and what a sensation with 10 inch whiskers. Laughing. Best cat ever in my life.
