What do you love about your cat(s)

[Laura's Babies]

Amy- I love her for her determanation and her never give up spirit. I love how it makes me feel when she looks up at me and gives me that special look that says "Pick me up!"..

Giz- I love her sense of humor, adventure and her zest for having a good time and playfulness. She is so much fun to be around.

Samantha- Her devotion to me, the fact that she never gave up in her effort to be mine. I love how she likes to curl up in a lap or hide under the covers and how playful she can be.

Kitty Boo- How faithful and devoted she was to Mama and how sweet she can be with me. I love that she sleeps with me every night and how she wakes me up with that gentle touch on my face with her paw... That is just SO sweet!

Snow- She is so lovable and friendly! If your sad, she will always be there by your side. She is a wonderful, fat and lazy cat that I love!

Angel- She is so playful! I can always play with her. She has a great personality and is lovable, but sometimes not always friendly. LOL! I love that wonderful cat!

Puddy - I love how she looks at me, as though she truly likes me. I know she loves me but she looks at me as though she likes me. And I love how she likes to hang w/the humans. Her head goes back and forth from person to person as though she understands every word of the conversation.

Boo Bear - I like that he comes when I call him, much like a dog would. And boy, does he ever talk. And he likes to check out new people; he'll jump up on their lap and look them square in the eye, as if to say "My mom might like ya but I'll let you know later what I think."

Pidge - I love how she taps on my arm when she wants attention. And I love her sweetness; what a sweet disposition she has. It's always seemed as though she's just grateful to have a home.

Creamsicle - I love how she just has to touch your face and smell your breath. Maybe it's because she's deaf and she's compensating, I don't know. She can melt the coldest heart.

Yodie - I love her eye kisses. She gives me lots of them and leg hugs, too. And she's another talker, sometimes to the point where I have to say "Aw, shuddup already!" And she'll just suddenly flop over and expect a belly rub, no excuses, Mom!

Coco Puff - I love the way he schmoozes me when he wants something. He's such a handsome blue eyed lover. If I was a cat, I'd be in big trouble. Another talker, too. Goes through the house, sounding like he's saying "Oh well!" And he still makes that "boop boop" noise, so much so that I call him Booper every once in a while.

Specs - I love the white rings around his eyes, as though he's wearing specs. And I love the way he sleeps upside down. All cats do that but the way he does it, I can't make out head or tail!

RB Peeka - She started the tapping me on the arm thing. She melted my heart the first time she did it. And when she and her brother Boo Bear lived w/my son for a couple of years when I was separating from my husband and living in Sedona, she'd be sure to leave a toy of hers in my suitcase so that when I'd unpack, I'd find it. It's as if she was saying "Don't forget us, Mom." It always made me cry. And I loved giving her stub rubs where her tail had been amputated. She'd raise her head up high as if to say "Oh yeah, right there, Mom."

Smudge is incredibly sweet-natured, always trying to do what he thinks I'd like him to. One time he found a packet of beef jerky I'd left in a box below waist level, and he carefully took it out of the box, then came and got me to show me what he'd found. Last week he had a tummyache and hurried into the kitchen to find me cleaning his box! He gave a querulous little "Meow?" and waited for me to put the cover back on before he dashed in and did his very urgent business. He greets me at the door with lots of toe kisses every day, and most mornings he'll give me a bit of a cuddle when he hears me begin to stir. He's not a lap cat (wouldn't fit!) but we just enjoy being near each other. His "happy place" is sprawled on the floor behind me as I work at my desk. Smudge is wonderful!

Love, Columbine

Mitzi's purr - she's got the loudest purr in the world IMHO.

The little paw print on her nose. The way she chases her tail - still! It always cracks me up and she does it at least once a day. I tried once to catch it in video, but she's way too fast and I'm usually laughing too hard to hold the camera still.

I love the way she puts her paw up to grab treats - she never uses her claws; it's always a gentle tap on my hand to ask for it nicely.

Her little voice - she's using it a lot more now and the psychic said she would - she's finding her voice in the world! Her little mrrt's - she's chirping in glee at me at lot more now too and I just love it.

Her beautiful coloring, especially on her face; her fluffy white ruff and her white mitts (I call them her ice cream feet because they're tri-colored in different places - just like ice cream!)
