Both he and Gryff love tummy scritches. Madoc does, when he forgets that he doesn't. He's more of a chin scritch guy.

No other species does such horrific things just to inflict suffering.

Hug your boys for me?

Actually all pets, they do wonders for stressed humans. Who can resist and not smile and feel love for them!

Sometimes I get a little nervous wondering if they know more about the true state of my health than I do.

But lately I’ve felt a certain degree of anxiety also. I forgot who posted this link here but I found it very enlightening and hopeful, not easy to find these days. My only wish is that I was 10 years younger but that’s a little selfish. Hope the article helps. Love them kitties.

His markings are very similar to a previous cat of mine. That cat had long legs and big ears as a kitten, too. When he was full grown, he weighed 20 pounds and none of it was extra for his frame and size. The vet techs used to joke that they needed a whip and chair to handle cats that big. But he was a sweetheart, easy going and charming.

We never even took him to the vet's in a carrier. He sat calmly on my lap, making friends with the dogs and cats in the waiting room, until we were called.
