I'm not sure how endearing it is, but Hekitty loves to crawl under the blankets with me and brush her whiskers across the backs of my knees.  Of course I jump a foot, and I swear I can hear her snickering!

Paul has decided that he really likes being brushed.  At least once a day, he presents himself for grooming.  As soon as I open the little yellow bag that holds the grooming tools, he shoves his face inside and takes a few big breaths.  Then he's ready to be brushed.

I think Artie's most enduring things are when he talks to me.. Especially when he wants me to wake up.. I just cannot get upset with him.. 

I get a 'tap-tap-tap' on the shoulder, then a meow in the ear.. If I do not move, it begins again.. if I do not move, then Artie will go and cuddle up against me.. either on the back of my legs or the front of my tummy--- I am a side sleeper...

I just love the way he talks to me..

Lily is my sweet, dainty little girl. When she hops in my lap, she looks up into my face and reaches up with one paw, her "fingers" spread. It's so endearing.

Mingo is my organizer. He keeps me on track for meal times by gently mewing that it's time. He knows the sound of the computer being turned off, and immediately turns over, stretches, and all but says, "Now, food." If I stay up reading and he thinks it's time go to bed, he walks around grumbling and complaining and giving me piercing looks. If I don't give in, he grumbles some more and hops up in a chair to show me what I'm supposed to do - sleep. But that's temporary; he will get up and escort me to the bedroom when I finally go.

Sweet things that Speedy does that I love - 

Sits at my shoulders during the night and starts to "bump" me with her head until I pick up the sheets and let her go from sleeping on top of the blankets to underneath where all is nice and cozy warm. 

Runs to her little rug in the living room when I come home and plops down and rolls on her back, where I proceed to brush and praise her for the next 10 minutes. 

Sometimes does not jump out of bed when the alarm goes off and wants to stay in bed. 

Sits on my lap and lets me prop her up to look at the laptop and she very quietly watches the mouse go back and forth.

Rolls over for a belly rub, stretches as far as she can go and claws at the rug as she rolls over and over so that I will get every angle.

Mollipop is my girl. If I'm not around, she'll go to Rick, but if I'm home, I am hers. If I'm flop down on the couch, she's in my lap. If I'm on the computer, she's in my lap. She can be lying on the kitty couch in the bedroom, but as soon as my butt hits the bed, her butt hits me. I am utterly and completely hers. And I love it. One of the greatest joys in my life lately is cuddling with my M & Ms. Mollipop is curled up in my left arm; Muffin is curled up in my right arm, cuddled under the covers. I can't read, I really can't do much of anything. So I sleep. Rick says he'll come back to bed and the three of us are sound asleep. Molli's head is usually on my shoulder with her paws tucked up under my chin. All you can see of Muffin is her head, which is tucked under my right arm and her two front paws are usually wrapped around my arm. Rick says he's going to take a picture sometime. 

Since it's gotten colder, Tabby's favorite spot now is in the bathroom. She lies on the bathroom floor with all four paws tucked underneath the electric register. We have to be careful when we walk into the bathroom so we don't step on her. She'll come to bed, but not until the electric blanket has been on for a while and the bed is nice and warm, so she can hop in and then stretch out. She can be sound asleep, but as soon as Rick gets the Frosted Mini Wheats box out of the cabinet, she's on the table in the kitchen, waiting for her share. Sometimes, she's so sleepy, she can hardly sit upright, but if there's Mini Wheats to be had, she'll be there. (Vanilla ice cream, too, but it can't be Vanilla Bean or she won't eat it. It must be just vanilla.)

Ms. Pepe is at the age where she does an incredible amount of sleeping now. But she still loves Rick's lap at night when he's watching TV. She has no problem yelling until he gets into position on the couch; then she'll jump on his lap and settle down. And she'll be there for hours. Sometimes I'll hear her yelling and when I ask Rick what she's yelling about, he'll say, "I moved and I disturbed her!"

And Amber Louise has become very bold and vocal in her old age. She used to be our Phantom Kitty because nobody other than us ever saw her. Now? She's out and about and doesn't care who visits. She loves my BIL; my sister and BIL visited with us last night for a while and Amber was all over him. We love the way she "flirts" with him. She'll walk over to him and then sashay away, just out of his reach, just so he can't touch her. After doing it a couple times, she'll dive-bomb his lap. She's hilarious. That girl has come an incredibly long way, but it took her 15 years.

Sophie is mommy's girl. She spends the most time with me. She sits in my lap and purrs up a storm. She's also very sassy and my little troublemaker. She loves to get into things. She wakes me for breakfast by standing on me and squawking in my ear/patting me with her paw. She's silly, funny and very loving. 

Lily is the queen diva. She runs the house and never lets anyone forget it BUT she is also very sweet. She kept Henry company when he was in his safe room and didn't lay down the law as to who was in charge until he decided to come out. She kept me company when I had a bad stomach bug and stayed right by my side the whole time. There were many times when I woke up to find her stroking my arm with her little paw. 

Henry is a perfect gentleman. He puts up with the queen's diva like actions (she has smacked him many times when he tried to eat before she chose which dish she wanted). He and Sophie are pals and he likes to cuddle with her. He is the king of the silent meow. He does it all the time.
