It is not so surprising that Veronica loves the kitty. Kitties are lovable and soft and fascinating.

What is surprising is that kitty tolerates it so well. Skellig Cat has always been a crabby don’t-touch-me kind of cat.

But he’s very patient with Veronica. Chris and I would never been permitted that sort of proximity.

If you don’t speak cat, let me explain. Putting his tail THAT CLOSE to little V’s hand is pledging eternal friendship.

She LOVES to feel his fur with her little tiny fingers. I try to intervene when she grabs for the ears, but he’s been pretty patient nonetheless.

Good kitty.
