I just wanted to talk about how excited my cat Althea was to see me when I got home from my ~3 week stint of travel yesterday. usually Althea is really standoffish after a long absence—the first time I was away for a long time, it felt like it took her a few days to even remember who I was. but yesterday she saw me, immediately gave me nose-boop kisses and flopped over onto her back in her kitteny way and wouldn't let me stop petting her for like thirty minutes. it was good and adorable
