Thanks everyone.
Debbie, that video of Tubby is so sweet, I love hearing his motor purr.
That reminds me that my new camera can take short videos too, I just have to figure out how to post them.

Kim, Samantha has what I call "eye freckles" which she has had for a few years now.
I guess it can happen with some older cats, it is just a change in the pigment in her eyes but it does not affect her vision.
I had asked my vet about it when I first noticed it and that's what he told me.

Redhedd, Samantha's belly is still very fluffy and plush, just perfect for belly rubs, just not quite as squishy underneath all the fluff.
