It's Sophie's Birthday! :D

My cat Sophie turns nine today!

I love the smell and feel of her downy soft fur, her curly tummy, her loud purring, the way she explores my face with her nose, the weight and warmth of her sleeping on me, the way she listens attentively when we talk to her and comes when we call her (though she takes a while sometimes), her silly quirks, her playfulness, her adorable demands for attention. She fills up my heart, and every day I am so grateful for her.

Happy Birthday, dear kitty!

Kitty Love: Vids of My Sophie

This kitty of mine... she melts my heart. :)

In the first video, she loves all over her brand new scratcher after we sprinkled it with organic catnip. She immediately knows when we give her a new scratcher that it's for her, and she doesn't hesitate for more than a millisecond to jump right on and claw away! lol



The second video shows Sophie in her current favorite afternoon sunning spot. I know it's long, but I couldn't stop filming... I'm in love with her cuteness! Check out her fur blowing in the breeze at the very beginning... LOVE IT!
