Cavaton

Affectionate. gentle. Yours.

Your Cavaton is lying on your lap like a cotton ball that somehow grew a heartbeat and decided its entire life mission is to be as close to your body as physically possible. Those big round Cavalier eyes in that fluffy white Coton coat, it's like someone took two of the sweetest breeds on the planet and said 'what if we made a dog that's basically a professional cuddler with a PhD in making people feel special.' They don't walk into a room, they float in on a cloud of soft fur and good intentions.
