Our cat Abner (or sometimes Abenedero) Since coming to our home he has really settled in and become a sweet and very affectionate member of our family...a big change from the early days when he hissed and swatted if we tried to pet him! Our beautiful boy knows we love him and so loves us in return.

 

Christmas!
