When I get home from work and he sees me for the first time he’ll jump up in the air and start purring immediately and then he runs as FAST AS HE CAN to me. His purr is so loud I can hear him purring from across the room as he runs. It melts my heart!

Oh, how wonderful that must feel. Baby Meow truly does love you.

What a special family you have, and this thread isn't any good unless there are tons of pictures.
