LOL. I'm thrilled that you think the image of a purring, kitty!Severus is so sweet. I'm certain that Harry wholeheartedly agrees with you, ali. And yes, here is to hoping that Severus will return to his regular form having found along the way something worth keeping back a small complaint or two, even if he does have then. :D

Thanks, as always, for taking the time to both read and review this story. Your lovely and encouraging comment meant the world to me. <3
