making cats happy.
OK, that's me. What about you? What's YOUR favourite thing about
your
cats/kittens???

For me it would be a toss-up between the purr and the way they com
eto
curl up next to me on the couch or the bed when they want to be near
me.
I love that!

Thanks for your response, Dan. It's the only one here at
rec.pets.cats.community so far, and none at rec.pets.cats.misc. But if
you want to see what others say, go to rec.pets.cats.anecdotes where I
posted this survey separately. Over there, dozens and dozens of cat
lovers have written to describe Favourite Things about their kitties!

I like it when my little maine coon starts trilling and yiping at me. She
can get very loud too if you ignore her. You must immediately to ask her
what is up to stop the tirade.

Little Maine Coon?

I thought that too -- "little" Maine Coon? Perhaps she's
not full grown yet and is merely only 14 lbs.

My favourite thing about Puzzle is how he follows me around. He always wants
to be fussed over, he's just a big soppy momma's boy.

My favourite thing about Maven is that he is like little dog, he fetches,
plays catch, and loves tasting any dairy that I might be having (ie: ice
cream, yogurt, cheese) and he waits by the door for the postman in the
mornings.
