Evidence!

Please excuse the poor quality of these photos, but they had to be taken as covertly as possible!

Yep, that's The Hubby in the backyard, petting Aries!  Aries is really a lover. I had to document the moment in a split second while watching out the back window screen and the netting that we've wrapped the balcony in for cat security.  Plus, The Hubby HATES having his photo taken, so shhh...don't tell him.

 

 

I too manage to get some petting time in with Aries every day.  He seems to enjoy the old wooden steps that The Hubby set against the maple tree.  We now call them "Aries's Bleachers" or "The Bleachers".
