Ozzie The Cat

We recently added a new addition to our family...in the form of a black and white kitty. We got him at the animal shelter...he is about 7 months old, and perhaps the sweetest kitty I have ever come across. He is all about attention...which is good because we have three kids who are more than willing to give it to him. Maggie claims that he is her kitty... this is not true - but she does get to have him all to herself during the day while the big kids are at school which she loves. She tucks him in bed with blankets and stuffed animals and loves on him constantly. He is patient with all of the two year old affection - and seems to love her right back. We made him a little cozy basket to sleep in...but so far he has snuck in slept right between Tyler and I, and neither of us had the heart to kick him out. We'll see if it continues. Pets are a pain in a lot of ways, but the kids are only kids once and it is so fun for them to have him to love on....so what do you do??
here are some pictures:
