  1. 1. Noses that twitch
    2. Supersoft pink paws
    3. Their love affair with open boxes...
    4. ...and rubber bands
    5. Their vigilant surveillance of the front walk
    6. Rhythmic purrs
    7. Full-body stretches
    8. They curl up on your chest-and even put a paw to your cheek
    9. Their slooow eyeblinks
    10. Their ability to find the only square of sunshine on the carpet-and fall
    asleep in it
    11. "Pet me now" nudges
    12. Their haughty independence...
    13. ...combined with their constant need to be near you
    14. Their attention-seeking stunts
    15. The way they curl their tails around their feet so tidily
    16. The warmth of their bodies
    17. Sandpaper kisses
    18. Their cranky meows when you keep them waiting
    19. They daintily step all over the newspaper you're reading
    20. Whenever you look up, they're there

  3. Awww, now I want to go home to the Bob!

  4. I loved that! Sylvester has his tail aways curled up around him. Also, he has a "monkey tail". If you stroke his tail, he wraps it around your fingers. It is never relaxed unless he is sleeping.

  5. Those were awesome - and so true.

    My poor Huddy can't curl his tail around him - lol.

    Great Dane, Bob seems to have quite a large tail! He's gonna be a big boy!

    *hugs to BIG Bob*

  8. 23. Chirpping when they are excited,

  10. 26. The way they lean so determinedly into your hand for petting.
    27. The grace inherent in (almost) every motion and pose.

  11. Bosley DEFINITELY isn't #19--dainty
    #27 is also difficult for the Bozman--I would never use the word grace for Bosley. Let's just say that if he were human, not only would I be happy with all C's on the report card (not too brilliant!), but he would be the child picked last in all team sports because he ain't too graceful (and could care less!)

  12. Love the additions, gang! So true, aren't they?

  13. I know a cat rather like Bosley for grace and brilliance. I tease her owners that she keeps falling off things because she's concentrating on her thesis--one bound to win the Nobel Physics Price--"Gravity is Mean and Nasty."

    They counter that she's clever enough for everything she needs, including getting their entire household to run to her convenience.

  14. #22 (small addition) Soft WARM furry bellies to rub AND BURRY YOUR FACE IN

    (I looove to do that)

  15. Me, too, Pipa's Mum!

    Huddy's Mama, I was just looking at the Bob's tail yesterday when he was hopping around in nature (with his Mama on a leash!) that his tail indeed does seem very big! He rarely curls it around himself - mostly he's all curled up and the tail is sticking straight out. Until his Mama curles it up for him, which never fails to wake him up meowing in protest!

  16. I have one too. The ability to make you laugh at yourself when they give you "Squinty eyes". Tiger does that when I have done something silly and he looking at me like "what have you done NOW, mama?"
