Bailey, our cat, lets Daniley just absolutely abuse him. He has never scratched her or tried to bite her, even when she pulls his skin nearly OFF and bents him into an octagon. She gets so excited and tickled when we let him in and let her carry him around (which is rare). She says over and over, "I love you Bailey Buddy." It's so sweet. These pictures are not of her just picking him up. This is how she carries him. (Bless his heart, LOL). I rescued Bailey from the sewers in Birmingham when he was a kitten, so he's just happy to have a nice home.
