Last night I tried so hard to get Madoc to purr for me. No luck [View all]

He has such a wonderful, deep, rumbling purr. Hearing it always help me to relax. And he's so big and plush that I can't help but snuggle with him.

This morning he woke me up by bopping me on the nose. I reached up to give him a scritch and THAT set off his purr motor. Every time I tried to doze off he bopped me, I'd scritch him and that re-started the purring. His purrs, his timing.
