I was writing, admiring Catmandu's seemingly endless cat piles, telling how my cats sit close, but if they touch, I hear: MAAAA, she's touching me!!!!

When, for the first time EVER, my Bella, who was on my lap, went over to Snowy, who was next to me, she groomed him, and I could see she wanted to pile with him.
After much grooming, Bella settled down, their necks intertwined, Snowy still grooming intermittantly. He finally settled. It lasted 5 minutes, until Bella spooked.
Snowy routinely chases her down, even tries to mount her. (but he prefers kittens ) so she is wary of his intentions.

Anyway, it was a brief 2 cat pile. The best I'll ever see here.
