The Love of a Housecat

There are times, times like when you are setting up a few flashes in the living room to test out some light designs, when after the most loving ball of fur in your life puts his paws up on your leg, looks up at you as if to say, "Hold me!" and squeaks out an almost apologetic meow, that you realize that no force on the planet will stop you from complying. Maybe it's the eye to face size ratio, maybe it's the fact that he begins to purr the moment he settles into my shoulder. I'm not sure, but whatever it is, it makes me feel like this photo.

Well, at least moments like this make up for the early morning barefoot hairballs and occasional litter box explosions.
