My family has two. The one shown below is Tommy, our youngest (now 8).
LOL! I have seen my boy in similar poses. He's such a ham, but a big lover. My big black was actually a feral kitten. He was found during a blizzard nearly frozen to death near the dumpster where I worked. He was rushed to the vet, thawed, and went wild. I took him home and within 2 days, he was like putty in my hands. Been one of the most loving cats I've ever had.
