Whats the ONE thing your cat(s) do to really make you smile and fill you with warm happiness?

Mine is when when I wake up in the morning and Monet is laying a few inches from my face, dozing, patiently waiting for me to get up (Especially on a saturday morning when he does not try to wake me!)

When he is looking for me, finally finds me and gives me a good verbal scolding for being missing. Then he curls up next to me and bites my fingers then licks them.

When I'm working on my computer and she works her way onto my lap purring, then looks up at me like "what do you have to do that's more important than cuddling with me?"
Irresistible.

When they "make muffins" on me and look lovingly into my eyes and have a rumbling purr

As soon as I sit down on the couch, Darko jumps up and starts kneading on my stomach, then lays down and looks directly into my eyes as if to say "finally!". (very similar to Tink80)

OR, when Stinkpot jumps up on my pillow in the middle of the night and rests his head right on top of mine! It's the sweetest thing.

My 2 are so different that there is not 1 thing that I can point to with respect to their relation with me that fills me with warmth but if I have to choose just 1 it would be when they cuddle and sleep.

Otherwise it is when Calvin runs to me a couple of times during the day screaming to "check-up" on me. He gets on my lap, we have some love and cuddles and then he rushes off and does what he was doing.
With Hobbes it is when he gets on my lap, kneads and turns and plops to sleep on my lap. If I do not catch him when he "plops" he would surely fall down.

When Little One deems us worthy enough to sleep in the bedroom with us. She is the most aloof of all our cats and spends most of her time by herself. But every now and then, she wants in our bedroom and wants her lovins. So, we get a good 20 minutes of quality time before she curls up at the end of the bed and goes to sleep. Granted, she probably just wanted to get away from the other cats but it still makes me melt.

I have so many things I could list that make me happy about my furkids. Let's see, when they have their morning crazies, just makes me laugh. Presley is the ring leader of the whole thing. I just love the early morning hours when they all curl up in bed with me. Perla on my pillow, Pipsqueak next to my side, Presley on my neck and face
and Perkins at my feet. Also, my precious dogs, Wilbur and Henry, JRT's cuddle in bed too. OH, it also makes me so happy to watch and listen to my cat's eat, I just love that sound, it's cute

They all have their quirks, but the absolute best is when Baby comes for cuddles.
I'll cradle her in one arm on her back and just stroke her cheeks and neck, she'll completely relax, and purr like crazy and make air biscuits.

IA. If you need me, just meow..
Can it be one for each?
If so then Twig makes me happy by sleeping with us each night and looking for loving the next morning.
Rocket makes me happy by having to sleep in a tangle of my hair, kneading and drooling on it and purring himself to sleep.
Luna makes me happy be curling up with me while I'm watching tv.
Neffie makes me happy by bringing me her mousies to throw and then laying on her side for belly rubs.
Cali makes me happy by climbing up on our chests for cuddling time.
Serenity makes me happy by sleeping right on my left cheek. My poor face is numb by morning!

I have so many for Maia.........
I think how anytime I need some love from her, and even when I don't she is always there
. Basically she is what keeps me smiling through the day, except for when I'm at work and miss her

Definitely purring.

When our RB Banshee was alive, she would awaken me in the morning by patting my face with her paws and giving me that deep rumble of a purr of hers.

With Mollipop, it's when she comes to bed at night and lies on my chest while I'm trying to play Angry Birds on my phone. She puts up with me playing for a little while, then she'll come over to me in bed and plop on my chest. And start to purr and smack the phone. That's her cue for me to stop and pay attention to her. I pet and coo; she purrs and kneads. It's just a wonderful feeling.

Pepper is a huge cuddlebug. She wants me to lay on my side so she can wrap her paws around my neck, tuck her head under my chin, and purrr her little head off.We usually end up taking a nap.
She and Scooter will sit in the driveway and howl at the top of their lungs when I leave for work. 3 of the 4 have a fascination with my cab, and when I go home for lunch, all 3 will be laying on the roof, or if I leave a window open, they will get inside and play. Then Fluffy will join in the howling with Scooter and Pepper when I leave again. I guess my babies DO love me. Either that or they want more wet food or treats.

Parker - When I say "kiss?" and he puts his face by mine so I can kiss him.

Buddy - When he crawls up on my chest and snuggles his face into my neck.

Sami - The way she "chirps" when you approach her.

My mother's cat, Cuddles, was simply a darling little cuddlebug. She loved all of us and we all loved her back. When we would hold her and say "Moitz? Give me moitz?", she would reach up and gently bite our nose. And then she'd give us a quick lick. We would say, "Sank U!" and she'd purr.
