Today, Molly wanted to be held. It was a notable occasion. She was following me around the house, rubbing my ankles, and generally getting in the way. Normally, my response to that behavior would be to pat Molly on her little head, at which point she would bite my hand. Well, today I patted her head too, but this time she did not nibble. Nor did she run away, hit me, or screech an annoyed meow. So I picked her up and cuddled her in my arms for approximately five minutes, which must have been some sort of record. And now she’s sitting on my lap, purring. Weird!
