Happiness thread - post yours!!

[lizzielou742]

OK, so since I have been sensing a bit of negativity around here lately (a few threads ending in arguments) I wanted to make a HAPPY thread. The idea is to post a picture of your cat(s) at their HAPPIEST! :) Whether it's kneading his/her paws into your lap, waiting for treats, getting scritchies or playing with a favorite toy, show your cat with a happy face! Or, show you AND your cat with happy faces, like this:

I know Tito loves to sleep on me like this, and this was one of the very first pictures I got of him, so it makes me happy to see it.

Or, this one:

The infamous sleepyhead picture. I have more like this, by the way, I have been meaning to post of him. Coming soon!

Anyway, so post some pictures of your cat when s/he's purring like a motorboat!! Let's brighten each other's day! :D

[Barbara]

I will have to look for a picture later but I have to say immediately that your pictures brighten my day. Tito is so adorable and he is soooo happy in your arms:) :) :)

This isn't Chance at his happiest, but I thought it was cute anyway. It always brings a smile to my face!

[christa]

Wow . . . I really needed this thread. There has been a lot of hostility around here lately . . . but as I sit here posting my "happiness thread", I can hear my kitty and my husband running around upstairs, playing, and I realize that I am HAPPY.

So thank you, lizzielou for this thread. GREAT IDEA! I can go to sleep happy now.

My Josie is happiest when she's sleeping, ha ha . . . she LOVES to take cat naps on the couch.

Such a very good idea for a happy thread!

I have a Sony Clie tj37. It came with a camera. The camera is OK, but not nearly as good as my regular digital. This picture is much more typical than the pictures above. I call it "Ghost Cat". :D

Thank you all for making me smile. It's nice to be reminded that there are responsible pet owners out there.

My Beans http://www.sitecenter.dk/uniqueviking/nss-folder/smilies/Hearts_smile.gif


These pics were taken right after she was diagnosed and the heart meds started taking effect.
Took them when she was playing (with a mousie Kirsten sent) for the first time in a long time.

I had just finished putting up the new "cat walks" on the wall and didn't even get a chance to get them painted before Beans showed me she approved of them, hehe.
