I love my Daddy

Kiddo here.  I wanted to tell you all how great my Daddy is.  Ya see, I've known him for a couple years now, but I've never once tried very hard to be friends with him.  He's nice to me and makes sure I'm fed and safe, but we never really bonded.  But then Mom and I had a chat.  She told me that Daddy is a fireman for the State of California and that he's going back to work now, and he'll be gone a whole lot and he'll miss us all, so I should try to spend some time with him.  So I took her advice.  The other day, I walked up to him, I put my two front feet on his leg, and I gave him a good sniff in the face, and gave him my inquisitive look.  Then I reached up and touched his face.  Mom loves when I do this because I don't use my claws when I'm on her lap.  Dad kinda flinched, but I hung in there, and touched the corner of his mouth.  He smiled!  So I climbed on up and laid on his belly, facing him, and we had a nice little chat!  He used words, and I just kept looking at him, cocking my head one way or the other to let him know I was listening.  It was great!  And I've sat on his lap twice more since then!  I'm so happy that after all this time, me and Daddy are developing a relationship!  I'm still a Momma's boy, but am real happy that now I can hang with Dad when Mom's not home.
