Oscar is just getting more and more snuggly.  In the last year or so
I've seen a drastic change in her behavior.

She likes to be held.

She sits on my lap (assuming it's covered with the magic blanket) for
half an hour or more at a time, purring her fuzzy head off.

Eric can pick her up and hold her belly-up, baby style.  Then I can
kiss her paws or bury my face in her belly fur.  Sometimes she doesn't
even stop purring.

She still has her snarky moments, but they're much more rare.

I don't know what's going on, but I like it!
