He's very gentlemanly and defers to my female felines. Despite his macho, tough guy appearance he loves to cuddle. Brittania rules the waves. Cats rule the household! Some of my favorite movies I watch again and again are, Amadeus; Michael; Bernie; The Poker King; The Birdcage; Gosford Park; The Firm; Rainman; Get Shorty; Death at a Funeral; Radio Days; The Blues Brothers; Driving Miss Daisy; What About Bob; The Burbs; Lars and the Real Girl; Mike Leigh's Secrets and Lies ; Another Year ; Sideways; Crazy Stupid Love;… Go to bio
