Our Very Own Hearts

Are we really sure
the purring is coming
from the kitty
and not from
our very own hearts?
...Terry Guillemets

I cannot believe how much I was missing by not having a kitty all these years. High on the list is the purr. Purring is the most amazing sound...so comforting, soothing, restful and calming. I love it so. I slept 12 hours last night from 2am-2pm (when not coughing). Best on Black. Today would have been my daddy's birthday. Thinking of and missing him.

I have a dog.... but I cannot but agree on kittens!

You can almost feel the soft fur and hear the purr in this photo - fav. Hope you feel better soon.

A lovely photo and narrative. They just aired a piece on a virus here that causes people to cough for 2-8 weeks! I hope you have the 2 week cough virus.

A cats' purr is one of the most comforting sounds there is! Hope you feel better soon

Pet therapy is as good as a herbal cup of tea I guess! Not truly a cat person, but I do like the cats with character. I love your eye peeking out there from behind the fur.

Thanks everyone! I usually like color but decided to post the B&W instead. Wondering if you all saw me, my eye, forehead and bangs laying next to Katniss in th upper frame??? My husband did not...haha!
Eagle eye Ann and Kahsia saw me. :)

[Liz Milne]

@gardenfolk I spotted you the second time I looked, but not at first :)

[Joy's Focus]

@gardenfolk Oh that is so cool! Now I see it!

[Islandgirl]

@gardenfolk ha ha I saw you hiding in the corner!

[haskar]

Incredible! Fav!

[Domenico Dodaro]

Sure I did: they make the photo!

[4rky]

I am sure Katniss is a great comforter and makes the best nurse.
Hope you are feeling better.
(I see you!)

[Carole G]

I spotted you. Great POV

[Sandy Z W]

I love a kitty purr too. Honey has been with me on the bed all day helping me with my cold. She purring under the blanket keeping warm. I love it! Cool shot.

[Faye Turner]

Sweet capture!

[~*~ Jo ~*~]

Lovely capture

I lucked out and had a cat turn out to be an office lapcat. petting a fluffy belly while processing makes it more enjoyable.
