Because I have a long drive home and drink alot of water, the first thing I do is drop my bags on the floor, step over the cats and race for the BR. While I'm in there doing my business they both come running in and take advantage of my "sitting" position by rubbing across my legs and expecting to be petted. After I've pulled myself together I then greet them by talking to them and giving them even more petting. I can't pick up Speckles but Max I usually pick up for a minute and give him kissies on the facie.

Then, of course, they couldn't care less that I had a bad day and scream out "feed me"!
