Mr. Sparkles aka Sir Gable

This is my handsome cat, Sir Gable. He is a 4 year old grey maine coon, who loves the camera and has quite the personality. One day in my apartment I found this red sparkly collar and I put it on him as a joke. I thought he was going to hate it but it turns out he loved it. He started to walk around the room and strut his stuff. I started to call him Mr. Sparkles or Sparkles for short and he responded by rolling around and rubbing up against my leg. It was not the reaction I was expecting but I'm glad he likes it. Every time I put the red sparkly collar on he becomes more affectionate and relaxed, especially around strangers. In this picture I had company over and he wanted to show off. The instant I pulled out my camera he started to pose for me. It's really adorable when he turns into Mr. Sparkles. I think he knows how handsome he is, especially with the collar on. I love my handsome Sir Gable aka Mr. Sparkles and I hope he will always be there for me. Happy Valentines Day from Mr. Sparkles.
