Sara I love the second picture especially (the tiny one) of Tinky. She looks so sweet and appears to be sound asleep under her purr pad. What a cute picture!

I have never bought a purr pad. I just never gave it a thought. I bought a fleecy kitty bed many years ago which they ignored. It came in handy when we got Bella in 2001 and she slept in it for a couple of weeks until she outgrew it. After that I took it to the basement (where all of our useless stuff goes ) and what did I find? Andy sleeping in it! He has claimed it as his very own and frequently takes his afternoon naps down there snoozing happily away. That said, maybe the kitties will at some point in the future show an interest in the purr pads. Who knows what goes on in those little kitty minds.
