Weekend Open Thread

For today’s open thread, reader Georgiana Y. shares a big breakthrough moment with her cat Stormy:

Well it only took three years but my Stormy finally snuggled with me of her own accord! Don’t misunderstand, I can pick her up and she never struggles but you can feel she doesn’t really like it. What she does love for some reason is sitting at my feet while I pet her head and scratch the bridge of her nose. It’s the first time that she jumped on my lap by herself to cuddled, I’m a happy cat mama!

It’s good to see Hana and Kitten Miri adjusting well to life without Maru. They each like to play in their own way.
