Happiness is..... lying in bed taking your mind off your headache and stomach cramps whilst listening to the sound of your cat happily chasing a ball bearing up and down over the floorboards of the bedroom on the floor below.
It's even happier when she bats it into the air and then tries to catch it in a frantic thudding flurry.
Truly. One of the best sounds I've heard for a long time.

PS: in case you are wondering, actually watching Suzie play with the ball bearing (a small metal ball the size of a large pea. Goodness knows how and where she found it, but it's hers now, in any case) is unfortunately impossible. Thanks to the treatment she received before she came to us (dealt out to her by people that will some day, I am sure, be rotting in Hell having the same treatment dealt out to them as punishment), she is far too shy and skittish for that. The best we can do is listen to her and smile, imagining what it would look like.
Anyway: ball bearing plus privacy plus a nice wooden floor equals a happy cat.
