I'm sorry that they picked such an unfortunate hour to decide to get chummy, but it's good to hear that they finally decided to reward your efforts on their behalf with a little affection! Of course it would be Hagrid (a/k/a Wide Load) who decides he wants lap time. He is a lapful indeed! I'm sure if I listen closely enough, I'll be able to hear that thunder purr of his all the way from Illinois!

I do miss those critters! It's so very good to know that they're in wonderful hands. I just hope that they don't make a habit of the 2 a.m. lovefest now that they've decided to get more friendly!

And thanks so much for posting this! It's lovely to have a little virtual visit with you and my kitty crew.
