A true blue Loverboy.

My cat Loverboy gives me love bites. And I allow it. Even when he occasionally draws blood. Because he does it affectionately. As if I'm another cat. His pal. His friend. Loverboy is merely being a cat. Being himself. Therefore, I tolerate the love bites. Even the blood-letting ones. Because I interpret them as genuine expression of love. I will sometimes respond with an 'Ow!' But I choose not to punish Loverboy. After all, he's being a true blue Loverboy. I'd have it no other way. --Jim Broede
