What do you love about your cat(s)

[columbine]

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!)
