Purring pile

Today I went around the corner to visit my friend Laurie. She’s a professional craft artist and kitty wrangler (among other things), so I’d be willing to bet she’s one of the nation’s leading experts on cuteness. When I showed up today she had a new batch of kittens to foster, and as Laurie and I chatted, Wiley hopped up, looking for a snuggly spot to nap (I was happy to oblige).

Before long, his siblings Cecil and Sylvie (out of frame) had appeared as well, and suddenly I found myself buried in a warm furry heap of rumbly kitten motors.

It’s a tough job, but somebody’s gotta do it.

    More kittens for my squirming, wriggling bridal bouquet of cuteness?!

    This reminds me of that New Yorker cartoon where two guys in suits are walking to a presentation and one guy (holding a container) says, “If they don’t like our proposal I’ll show them the kittens. Everybody likes kittens.” :)
