Forgot about this little gem.

The day he decided I was his mommy. I was so shocked and happened to have the camera in my hand, so voila. Picture moment!

Ten minutes before I had come home, called him, petted him, watched him run to hide in his favorite corner... then, suddenly, after 3 days of hiding, he decided that I was his mommy.

And let me know most insistently.

Aw, my baby.

Isn't it precious when they first let you know that they trust you? And it only gets better from there.

And even more precious when they climb your leg, wanting to be held!!

This guy always wants to be held. He'll probably lose use of his legs one day from his insistence on being cuddled.

OMG!! Sooo darn cute!! What a great shot to get!

So adorable!!!

What a little cutie! And so sweet of you to let him use your leg as a tree to climb!

Wonderful, wonderful shot. Somewhere in a box, I have very old pics of my RB lady Shasta -- one of them is a duplicate of that, and I am taken back to her kittenhood. Thanks for sharing.
