Please pet all kitties who are amenable, on behalf of a longhair Internet nerdlady who, though also in Wisconsin, is out of range and more importantly has no right to go poking petting hands into someone else's space. Your cats sounds like delightful beings one and all, as do the rescue purrers - poor Dorchadas Little Guy!

Sweet, gently cat-curious Labrador icon used because 1) he was a love, and 2) he was respectful of kitties if they made it known they wanted him to buzz off with his interested sniffer.
