Doesn't anyone pet these cats while I'm away?

I returned from my trip to discover that all of my cats were in dire need of my love and affection. Apparently S.O. didn't spend his every waking moment doting on them! What was he thinking? Anyway, this is a picture of "M" kitty and Mini. "M" is saying "I'm ready for my close-up Mr. Demill" and Mini is in the background.
