I gave Snowdon an actual, full blown PET, this morning!

Not just the rare one, brief, one finger scritch he allows. He also has started to run up and sniff at my hand and even sometimes will give it a gentle pat with his paw, claws fully retracted.

I guess my persistence is paying off.

Tiger has been showing up at the back door at 5 PM and 5 AM not sure whether he spent the night on the porch or not, but he gave me a little meow this morning and I petted his head twice, he’s scared of the back door I think. Keep up the good work with your kittens

Both she and Rhian love to start their day with a kiss and a scritch. Sometimes Spooky, Madoc and Arthur's mom, will meow to me at meal time.

You make such a difference in their lives by caring, and in ours by sharing.
Your generosity of spirit inspires me.

The new year will bring many challenges, along with many changes.
Knowing that we have the continuing saga of Siwsan and the KitKidCats when we need a break from the news,
that makes our lives brighter and lighter.
I’m expecting many good things for all of us in 2024 and wish you all good blessings.
