The epitome of cat content, Nikki. The sweeping line of the chair leg and the spot of light at its top are the perfect attention draw for his ecstatic rub. #5654248

Thanks, Mitch--more than anyone else can know :)
I'm so pleased that you all like this resubmission. Datha and Mitch suggested that I give it another try and Mitch steered me toward needed edits. I'm almost as pleased as Micio with the results. #5654272
