Boris is a very affectionate monster. He likes nothing better than showering everyone with kisses and, though endearing, it can also be very ticklish.Boris loves everyone and can't help showing it. He kisses you for checking his fur for bugs, he kisses you for feeding him, he kisses you for stroking him - he kisses you for just about everything, in fact.
