These photos are not quite in order but I think together they tell the story about how a rather curmudgedly sixteen year old cat lost his heart to a kitten. A girl kitten.
She fell for him hard. He's so big! So strong! So brave! And day by day she played her cards, moved in a little closer, until she could actually give him a kiss and not get The Paw. (she never gets The Paw now). She let him know how much she admired him and gradually she was accepted.
Brendan really is a wise old soul but even he didn't know some things. For instance that it really is best to be part of a tribe, to have other felines cuddled up next to you, to get your head thoroughly washed, to have someone come running if you sneeze, to have somebody who really cares about you and speaks your language. He's learned something new and it has added a great deal of sweetness to his old age.
When he comes in the window in the morning after Dawn Patrol Ramona comes running, gives him a kiss and walks next to him to the munchie bowl for a bit of breakfast. And the big lug will even let her get her head in his bowl with him. Truly a May December romance of the finest kind.

Even an old crusty guy like Brendan has a soft heart. It would be hard to resist Ramona.

That is such a furry sweet story. That's even nicer than me and Georgia!
She is a little charmer, that's what. She liked what she saw, and she moved in stealthily. (Some of us like the curmudgeonly types.)

Aren't they sweet together!
Every time I see the 2 of them I wonder about getting a little sister for Beezer. It would be nice to have a kitten in the family again.
