He is definitely worth a chin scratch or two, don't you think?

aaahhh... BLISS! ...We can learn so much from animals... especially how to just really live in and enjoy the moment. :o) Happy Week, Elizabeth ((HUGS))

@tracy: so true. i think that every time i see atlas rolling around in the grass or insisting that we sit down in the grass when it's sunny out.

@marcie: happiness indeed.

@lynn: or three ;)

@rose: i hope you see your kitties soon!

@chrissy: hee. atlas has since been scratched on the nose twice. poor pup. he looks so sad afterwards, like "i love him. why does he hurt me so."

@meredith: animals really are

@sherron: i do love it! it is just so cute and fun. he's still a teeny bit nervous at times but mostly he seems to be comfortable around us now. yay.

@josiane: his purr is better felt than heard. it's so quiet, but you can feel it in the air.

@michelle: your video, and now my photos. this has been a week for kitty appearances! ;)
