Of course, I've always known that, and my human has always known that. I mean, she tells me constantly that she wouldn't have survived this past year without me. And I've always known that I have a large and extended fan club. :)

But now, I've got outside confirmation!

My auntie called my human yesterday, and told my human that she gave a picture of me (7th one from the top on my Catster page) to a woman in my auntie's mother's retirement home, and that I've been making the woman feel much, much happier. Of course, we've never met, but my auntie reports that the woman and her mother talk about me like they know me. :)

Of course, my auntie gave the women pics of Trooper as well, but I think he's just a pinch hitter...my auntie specifically said that they talked about ME, but she didn't mention that they talked about Trooper.

Speaking of Trooper, poor guy. That friend's visit, crashing at our place, really didn't go over too well with him. As it turned out, the human's friend was delayed, so he only needed to crash for one evening, after the human had returned. But Trooper hid under the bed all day, and then when it came to go to sleep, he fled into the closet, whose door the human had fortunately forgotten to close that day. Usually it's the one place that's off-limits to us because of shedding--although I ask you, doesn't cat hair accessorizing make human clothes look sooo much better??. And Trooper then stayed there all night. He didn't come out of hiding until the human's friend left.

We hope he gets somewhat less timid as the years go by. I mean, the human thinks that for at least the medium term she's going to be mostly a homebody who rarely has any visitors who come over for more than a few hours, but it's probably not always going to be like this.

As for myself, I personally don't mind change or any of the human's friends. So long as, of course, everybody understands what an honor and privilege it is that I'm letting them into my domain. :)
