I spent a lot of time grooming him heavy fur. The family was surprised that he let me comb areas of this body that he doesn't like touched. He did occasionally look at me to say, "You can do that for just a minute, but not too long please."Kayhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07461569436322815787noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1509736677359366469.post-46423256888440700162016-08-11T05:05:55.708-05:002016-08-11T05:05:55.708-05:00Terri,

Can not tell you how much I miss you and think of you.<br />Wish I could start blogging again it is a part of my life that I miss. Maybe one day soon. <br />As always your writing leaves me wanting more so while I am lucky enough to be here I will read some later post.<br />Yes I can relate to this post. I too have a need to pet and love the purring that I get when I do.<br />Hope you are well. I have missed you and all my blogging friends.<br />Love<br />MaggieGrandma Yellow Hairhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10917551672825097342noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1509736677359366469.post-48146332537287822232016-08-06T08:28:51.221-05:002016-08-06T08:28:51.221-05:00Katie and I connect all through the day with an ea...Katie and I connect all through the day with an ear scratch or a head rub, but our favorite time is when I lay down on the couch in the evenings to watch tv or read...here she comes to pounce up on my chest. The toe prodding hurts like heck until she is comfortable, and then we both are happy when she finally gets her spot, and starts purring.
