Kitten Love
Today Mr. Christy surprised me with what seems to be a love fest!
He was sitting on the floor looking up at me with an obviously affectionate gaze, quietly meowing to have me pick him up. I brought him up on my lap and petted him behind his ears, one of his favorite spots.
He responded by standing on his hind legs and putting his forepaws on either side of my neck, pressing the entire length of his belly against my chest and nuzzling his cheek against the side of my face. Purring loudly enough to be heard in another room, he begain to lick my face, eyes slitted and obviously in some form of feline ecstacy. As he gave me his kitten kisses, he began gently kneading my skin with his paws.
I stroked his fur and told him he was a beautiful little cat. After several minutes of this extraordinary display of affection he dropped back down into my lap, curled up and went to sleep. I swear he was smiling!
