Cat Forum / Cat Anecdotes / July 20043 kitty night
Figured it would be wet again today, so I stayed up late last night. When I finally went to bed I had to nudge Rocky over a little, since he's a believer in sleeping sprawled out right in the middle of the bed. The girls followed me in to the bedroom, and Sammy jumped up for her nightly before sleep rubdown while LB took up her regular spot on the bookcase. About three I woke to find Sammy crawling under the covers as a storm was coming through (Awoke this morning to find over an inch and a half in the rain gauge.) I just told her it was ok and went back to sleep. Then about five I awoke to find myself pinned between Rocky on one side and Sam still under the covers on the other. I managed to turn over enough so that I could straighten my arm, which I was laying on. At seven I awoke when Sammy decided it was time to get up. I was laying on my arm again, and this time had a stiff neck. LB had decided to join us and had taken over the pillow. Aw, it's nice to have everyone join me, but at the same time I'm kind of glad they usually take turns instead of gaining up.

While all three want to cuddle all night in the winter, as soon as spring hit, Grant now sleeps in the catnapper on the window and Pearl and Sugar sleep with me but not pressing on me. It's not like I don't have air. Really the temperature inside is no different than in the winter, but it sure seems "seasonal".

Fortunately the girls have changed their schedule too. Smokey has taken to the couch and Cali has stopped her armpit snuggling. She's content to lay off to one side with my hand on her tummy. Although she's staying longer now, as their is no Smokey smell to annoy her. Speaking of armpit snuggling: I normally wear a T-shirt to bed, but it was just too hot a couple of weeks ago. So Smokey decided I need an underarm cleaning, which wasn't too bad until she decided I needed some spot remover. Yow, those little teeth are sharp. :) > Figured it would be wet again today, so I stayed up late last night. > When I finally went to bed I had to nudge Rocky over a little, since [quoted text clipped - 15 lines] > Aw, it's nice to have everyone join me, but at the same time I'm kind > of glad they usually take turns instead of gaining up. You have it easy :) Try being a 100lb. person with a 20lb cat that likes to sleep on your chest - its all I can do to breath at night. And if I dare move his highness Simba, he moves up to my pillow and starts pulling my hair! Not the nice kneading paws motion, but a very nasty kicking and pulling motion with all 4 feet on the back of my head. Usually I just give up and let him sleep on my chest. Pepper, being the good little boy that he is, just sleeps up against my legs. At least they keep me warm at night! >You have it easy :) Try being a 100lb. person with a 20lb cat that >likes to sleep on your chest - its all I can do to breath at night.

I would imagine a 20lb weight on anyone would make it hard for that person to breathe, no matter what they weigh.

I don't tend to worry too much about his weight because it's all muscle, but at this point he is almost twice as big as Pepper. However, I do suspect that he likes to lay on my chest in hopes it will kill me one of these days, and then he will have my Significant Other all to himself. Occasionally I will wake up with him on my chest, one paw over my mouth and one paw over my nose (attempted suffocation?). We got Simba to be my cat, but he has chosen my SO as HIS PERSON! If I even dare cuddle SO I get the look of death and even a swat from Simba's paw. I guess he figures if I am out of the way then he can have all my SO's attention! And for someone who never wanted a cat, SO sure does spoil Simba. Not many other cats get hand fed bits of T-bone steak. > And Simba just keeps getting bigger!

BTW, have you noticed that their paws can be *hot* when they touch you with them? Cat body temperature seems to be quite a bit higher than ours. > BTW, have you noticed that their paws can be *hot* when they > touch you with them?

You sound like a friend of mine with 4 poodles, 2 of those standard poodles. But her 4 insist on sleeping all night on her bed. I told her she needs to get a bunk bed and take the top. That wouldn't help with your gang though. :) SignatureCheryl |
