I was in bed, wide awake and feeling so incredibly sad and lost. Madoc, who was just a kitten, maybe about 12 weeks old, crawled up next to me and put his paw in my hand. Then he snuggled up to my arm and we both fell asleep.

He still has his moments but out of my indoor kidcats, Arthur is definitely the most sensitive to my emotions. He has stuck very close to me all week.
