More from January, almost exclusively Riley
Here's Riley on Jan. 4th. I feel like he hadn't been sitting in so many funny positions before, or maybe I just never paid enough attention, which is always a good possibility with me since I frequently pay no attention to things in general. He looks so chill, hanging out with Grogu. The next day, just so cute! I fee like I could have a calendar with nothing but Riley pictures. Hmm, great, I bet I could make a fortune and Riley would be a famous kitty! But I'd probably have to start posting pictures on Instagram and Facebook and stuff, and then I'd have to work on getting the photos seen...
