According to Madoc, today is Snuggle Bug Saturday

[Siwsan]

So, between chasing wadded up paper balls and trying to eat my toes, we've been snuggling.

1. Awwwww

Those are the best kind of days!

[Siwsan]

4. It's cold, dreary and rainy so, yes, snuggling is extra nice, today

I just fed the ferals and Mittens the Kitten let me give her an extra pets, this afternoon. It's so nice to have her trust me, that much.

9. That is wonderful progress.

2. What a sweet face

so glad he likes to snuggle.

3. He has the sweetest expression in all your photos.

If DU ever had an official mascot it would be Maddoc.

5. When I think back and how sad he looked, when I first took the kittens in - he's really changed

Of course, his little ears were still kind of flat, but his expression just looked forlorn. Now he's a handsome little guy.

And now I'm starting to think about getting him a companion, maybe in the next week, or so.

6. That is such a lovely idea.

8. That's wonderful!

I didn't want to say anything in the face of your tremendous losses, but I'm glad you've reached that point. Our rescue doesn't adopt out single kittens unless their new home will have an animal buddy for them. The kitten will be happier, and you too, I suspect.

10. I've never recovered from the loss of a cat until I got another.

I used to resist the idea, as if I was trying to replace someone irreplaceable, but I finally learned that until I opened up my home to another I'd be stuck in my grief.

13. They are not replacements, but rather, successors.

The way it feels to me when I have welcomed a new cat, which I typically do a matter of days, is that the love I have had for a departed cat is still there, but just sort of forlornly floating free, with nowhere to go. A successor cat gives the love a new place to anchor.

14. Perfectly said! n/t

7. H has the most expressive face. And so wise. Snuggle bug Caturday.

[liberalla]

11. Well who can argue with Madoc? Certainly not me!

[Ziggysmom]

12. Is it just me, or does he get CUTER every single day??

Cute overload!!
