Happiness is a warm kitty....

...especially one that is purring. Even better is two contented kitties stretched out on your lap. Doesn't leave much room for your laptop or book or Su Doku- or whatever you were actually trying to do. Well - their comfort is more important after all ;-)
It seems that the little monsters are getting used to the humans that they now own. When they first arrived they would only cuddle up together to sleep and looked horrified if you tried to stroke them or brush them. Now they have realised that is is quite nice being stroked and will purr happily and stretch out on whoever sits on their sofa. Sometimes Kurt will sit on me and Buddy will sit with Laura - each with their rightful slave - but quite often they will swap - or both choose one. Whichever looks busiest,. I think they like to relieve stress! Listening to their contented puring certainly can calm anyone down.
This is not to be confused with the hungry "Are we glad to see you!" purr that we get when we come in from work. That is when they will circle our feet as we try to walk to the kitchen, tripping us up several times before we make it to the Whiskers pouches. Hmm - it is nice to be appreciated.
Meanwhile some helpful soul at work sent this link to me - not sure it is entirely serious :-)
