Yes, yes I will pet you!

My kittens here are starting to get a little bolder. They are beginning to associate me with pleasant things like warmth and good pets and ear scratches, as well as food. They are enjoying sleeping in my laundry sorter where my laundry smells like me, even though they have their own bed. When I came in for the last visit of the night, no one scattered but I noticed the growler was separate from his siblings, laying in the crate on the other end of the room. So I picked him up to pet him. Then I brought him over to his sibs and set him in the laundry sorter and started gathering the kittens on the floor and putting them on the laundry too so I could pet them all together.

I was holding a kitten and giving everyone pets, but the Growler was being very persistent and following my hand around to push his head under it. He went so far as to place his paws on me and reach for the kitten I was holding and tug at her...I guess he wanted up! So when I put the other kitten down, I picked him up and he seemed nice and content laying next to my chest, being held and pet. He followed me with his eyes when I left.

Good kitties!
