It's kinda weird seeing your user name, because my initials are also KT.

When Jeanette and I Skype, she does her best to move the computer around to focus on the cats, or pick them up and hold them close to the camera! She also frequently gets videos of them on her Cricket Windows phone for me to watch.

Both Sammy and Taz, the two of the four cats who are normally with us, are great company, though Taz has a problem with men and it's not as easy to get her to really warm up to me. Sammy more than makes up for it, though! If he's on the bed and I put a hand anywhere near him, he will squirm his way over to it for pettins! It's just the cutest thing you could ever imagine.

Thinking of him doing that never fails to put a smile on my face.
