Aren't you a pretty kitty perched so elegantly on the red sofa?
We have a kitty who's been independent [not a lap kitty] but she too is eight years old and is warming up to being more people oriented and is now verrrry affectionate.

You must have it good there in Spain with the bugs in your garden and morning coffee with your guardian

Have a glorious day and have some catnip on us........

Pearl, Keiko & June
