Groucho and I have our morning ritual. I always try to keep maybe a half hour to just sit and have some coffee before leaving for work. Groucho comes up for a snuggle session, I tell him how much I love him and hope he's as happy with us as we are with him. Getting in from work is the best part of the day. Groucho is always at the door and greets me with meows, follows me into the house. As soon as I sit down, he comes up with his hind-quarters on my leg, puts his head on my shoulder then gently strokes my face with his paw. I tell him how much I missed him and love him and he just purrs. He hears "I love you" all the time.
