I love my cats.

I laid down on the couch after I got the kids to bed...and Cricket came over, hopped up on the arm of the couch, and started chirping at me and grooming my hair.  Shadow followed close behind, but has curled up between my knees, behind my laptop, and purred until she fell asleep. 

I think they know I feel awful.  And these two cats are some of the most loving, affectionate critters I've ever had, even if Cricket's stupid, and Shadow's sense of humor is...off.
