So I'm chasing Vino around the house, I've actually got him pretty
riled up.  This is usually difficult for me to do because Vino prefers
playing with Dennis, but since Dennis has been gone for 2 1/2 weeks, I
guess he's resigned himself to playing with me.
Anyway, I'm chasing him around and he's getting pretty into it.  He's
leaping onto his scratching post and jumping off to tackle my ankles,
he's zooming up and down the stairs, bouncing off the couch.  Suddenly
he jumps into his old cat condo which has this little house on it.  I
go up and stick my head into the house.  I nudge Vino with my head on
his side and rub my face on him.  Suddenly the whole house starts to
vibrate with purrs!  He's not excited anymore, he's freakin' purring!
The turnaround in his mood was instantaneous.  What a weird cat.  I
guess he likes it when he's got company in his house :-)
