My kitty joys.

[RedHedd]

My joy right now is watching Mitzi come out of her shell. Who is this cute, perky cat who greets me at the door and even wanders down the hall outside my apartment, exploring the neighbors' doors, tail held high, meowing at me with bright green eyes? I love it when she puts her paw on me - she did it this morning - a little Mitzi love-tap.

Watching her chase her tail just brings the silliest grin to my face. She's never going to catch it, but you can't tell her that - she just keeps trying! I'm amazed that she still hasn't figured out that it's attached to her - permanently.

Great thread Jen!

Pouncer coming to me for a few scritchies before he runs off to get into trouble.

Abby sleeping curled up beside me. Abby always needing to know where I am, and always being in whatever room I'm in.

Allen sleeping on my full bladder at 6:00 in the morning

Flutter meowing and pawing at me for pets (oh the look in those green eyes!)

Harry's monster purr. his big body keeping my feet warm at night.

Watching them all come from every corner of the house for treats or a game of laser light.

Great thread!

Tabitha:
~ Her very loud purrrrrr!
~ That she loves to cuddle with me under the covers and in the crook of my arm.
~ That when I wake up in the morning, she is curled up on the pillows next to mine.... my very own "Princess and the Pea".
~ That she loves to lay on the back of the couch while I watch TV, and she has her head on my shoulder, purring away.

Sasha:
~ Her silliness at all hours.
~ How she loves to throw milk rings in the air and then speed away from them like they will attack her!
~ How she has recently learned that cuddling with Meowmom is okay, and she likes to lay next to me with her head on my legs and her arms stretched over one of my legs!
~ How she zooms up the stairs when I start up and jumps on the bathroom sink, meowing loudly for me to turn the water on please!

Both my girls....
~ A new phenomenon.... our cuddle sessions in the morning. Tabby lays on the pillow in the crook of my arm and Sasha lays on my tummy. We stay like that for almost 20 minutes every morning, both of them purring and enjoying some cuddle time with me! Of course, I don't think either realizes that the other is so close by!

Other than the times Jax drives me nuts screaming to get out of the house to explore (which he is NOT allowed to do)... everything else with him is a joy...

~ the way he makes it a point to give me head bumpies when he sees me walk into a room no matter how much time has elapsed since the last time he saw me.
~ his tolerance for Noba
~ his undying affection for me
~ his clutziness... this cat is the most ungraceful cat I have met, and I have the vet bills to prove it.
~ the best part about him is the way he adapts to all the changes that occur in his life. He takes all the moving around (i'm in the military) with such ease, makes me realize he is the best cat in the world..
~ the way he wiggled into my heart from day one!

Just knowing my boys are at home waiting for me when I get in from work. They are always glad to see me, no matter what.

Having Archy snuggle beside me at night; hearing him purr makes for sweet dreams.

When Binky allows me to give him some lovins and scritches (he's such an offish guy sometimes).
