I'd completely forgotten about this.
Anne (un-updated blog here; note the post from when we got Joey) shot this video less than two months before Mickey died, with the intention that I could put it on a loop on my second monitor, as a sort of relaxing furry mental wallpaper.
I didn't, at the time, think it entirely necessary to subject my blog readers to five straight minutes of Mickey and Joey sitting in a box licking each other, even if it was in their usual could-turn-into-a-wrestling-match-at-any-moment way.
But now that Mickey's gone, I feel the self-indulgence is justified.
(Joey appears to be quite ready to bond with the new cats in exactly this way, but they're still growling at him. They're becoming more mellow every day, though.)
Update:
The aftermath.
Clearly, this box was not large enough to effectively measure the volume of two cats.

I'm sure they are impossibly cute, but my own 10-year-old cat fell quite suddenly sick and might not live another week, so I'll skip watching these movies for now lest I turn into a quivering ball of sadness and sobbing right here and now.
I'm happy the new cats and Joey are
bondingnot killing each other. I, and I'm sure most of your other readers, look forward to movies of them. :)21 August 2008 at 10:06 am
I feel obligated to express my belief that mankind has not yet produced a more soothing video, nor one with a more appropriate title.
Thanks, Dan. Here's hoping you hit the top of Google's results for "rough tongues hairy pussies".

Incidentally, you're seventh.
