My house-feral, Gandalf, crawled onto my lap this morning. This is a first . . . after he’s been indoors for 4 years now. (Stockholm Syndrome! Seratonin!)
Oxytocin: (from Google): Oxytocin is a hormone secreted by the posterior lobe of the pituitary gland, a pea-sized structure at the base of the brain. It’s sometimes known as the “cuddle hormone” or the “love hormone,” because it is released when people snuggle up or bond socially.

This is SO true… I know it’s driven by our chemical reactions, but a snuggling/sitting/purring cat anywhere near me is simply Heaven.
