We have successfully reached initial cuddle stage

mc_shamo just snapped this photo:



I am tired and hungover, as you can probably see. Loki is just the most adorable kitten alive. He won't yet voluntarily climb into a human lap (unless we're in the bathroom, where he feels the most comfortable, even then only if the human is sitting on the floor perfectly still) but once he is picked up an plonked in a lap seems quite content to stay there for a little while. Slowly, slowly, slowly we make progress.

Another coffee chain I'll be avoiding from now on...

Actually, I think the only times I've been to a Gloria Jean's have been while I was browsing in Borders, I'll just have to leave the store for a coffee now.
