I discovered something very sweet about a certain Madoc behavior

He will crawl up my shirt and very softly patty paw my face and stare at me with those pretty eyes until I kiss the top of his head. Then he settles in, closes his eye and takes a nap.

That was my heart melting.

What a sweetie!

Does he squint at you when he does this? I've read that is one of the ways kitties tell us that they love us. My ferals squint back at me.

Of course, I've learned that sometimes Madoc is just setting me up. That's when the patty paw isn't quite so soft and gentle.

The ferals do sometimes give me that slow blink.

Nugget likes to make bread on my sons back, and then fall asleep there. Only problem…my son always slept on his back.

Nugget won…my son is now a tummy sleeper! Kitty changed a life long behavior in two days.

I finally got her to curl up next to me, and caught about a 45 minute snooze. Fortunately she doesn't do this EVERY night. Just more nights than are probably healthy for me.

The beany touch .

Usually when hes on my lap on a chair he asks me to bend down to his level. Than he goes patty pat looking into my eyes and melting my heart like ice cream in a hot car.

I love him,and Madoc is just adorable.

I can imagine him patting your face,its so cute it hurts.
