The purring of a pussycat
Listening to Parker purring and feeling the rumble it makes in her body as I scratch her head is a soothing experience for me.

It doesn't solve my problems -- or anyone else's -- but it sure helps me keep some of life's stresses in check. If you don't have a cat but are feeling a bit stressed, I'm sharing some of Parker's purring with you. She usually finishes our time together by doing "happy feet." Happy feet is when she digs her claws on my chest and stomach like she's kneading dough. Painful at times but pleasant. Hmmmmm. I wonder if that says something about me?

Cooooooooooool.
Parker is so sweet. Cats are the best.
It's so true that cats are great stress-relievers. I don't know what I'd do without Priscilla and Diego. I call the kneading thing "the mushy-mush," because Diego likes to knead the mushiest parts of me, and lord knows I'm extra-mushy. Oh my God, I AM the crazy cat lady on the block!

Poor Moby. The purring brought back a lot of memories.
