Ten years old. Found as a kitten while picking up our son from preschool.

He's the clingiest cat I've ever known and is a formidably flamboyant lover. He'll forcefully shove his snoot into your face as he learned that's what "kisses" are. He'll even do it on command.

Apart from that I've never known a cat who loves belly scritches as much as he does. He's also as vocal as a Siamese. Doesn't shut up for a minute, nor would I want him to.

Despite all this, he's kind of a shadow in the sense that almost no one except my SO, my kid and myself get to see him. He hides from anyone else, no matter the circumstances.

I swear black cats all have a foot fetish. Look at Jove, sleeping blissfully in your socks scent.
Mine does summersaults between my feet and then crashes out on them. It's incredibly cute.

Now that you mention it, he really does have a thing for my body odor. He loves shoving his face into my armpits for example.

My girl does that too. They love their humans.

His endless happiness at being your cat is evident, and lovely. 🥰
