I agree with your take on the subject, although I’d like to quibble a bit about your concluding ‘
It probably doesn't get much better than that.’ I suppose this is closely related to how you pick your cat/kitten: if possible I like to go for the lively and interested ones that approach you (a stranger) freely and readily. These tend to be more gregarious and snuggly, which could be (mistaken for) ‘love’. What do you think?
