Cats certainly are wonderful! I love Kizzy because she is so very gentle and I trust her not to bite nor scratch. She has such a wonderful deep purr and having her on my lap (a recent honour) is just about the best thing. She is so relaxing and comforting.
I love Pip because he is just the most tolerant cat I've ever met - he's a big softie and used to follow me around all day (before Monty arrived!). He is playful and funny and makes me smile. He has a habit of coming and wafting his tail around my nose if I am reading something when he thinks I should be feeding him Dreamies or playing with him.
I loved my Merlin and lovely Smudge for totally different reasons. Merlin was my first cat and was a grumpy sort especially as he got older (was over 23 when he passed). But we did have a strong bond and I still miss him. Smudge was a very independent girl but was loving and gentle and a sweetie on her own terms.
LONG LIVE CATS - couldn't be without 'em
