The other evening I was relaxing in bed with a good book, accompanied by
Bandit and Snowball curled up alongside, with Pericles snoozing on my
desk chair nearby (my office is in my bedroom thanks to lack of space
elsewhere).

Bandit & Snowball decided to give each other a grooming, not an everyday
occurrence, and it developed into a fierce head-washing contest with
neither boy prepared to back down and fail to give as good as he was
getting.

After quite a few minutes, and two soggy furry heads later, Snowball
broke off the engagement and went over to join Pericles on his chair,
then proceeded to "share the love" by giving Peri the benefit of a
thorough
head-licking too.
Unusually for him, Peri allowed himself to be groomed without demur, no
cuffing away of the impertinent youth, until Snowball was finished, when
they all resumed their previous positions and went to sleep.

I hoped that this was the start of a new harmonious era between Snowy &
Peri but hoolikitten was back in Peri's face the very next day and the
customary minor squabbling was resumed.

Still, it was a heartwarming moment & I felt like sharing it.

Purrs to all, especially those in need.
