I don't know how many of you rpca folk have had this experience with your
masters but last night I feel I finally reached the equivalent of the
highest reward a catslave can have bestowed upon them.

I was lying on the sofa watching TV as I often do in the evening and Tucker
decided to pay me a sweet visit.
Tucker is not content with merely curling up on top of a slave's stomach or
so; he must climb as close as possible to his slave and cuddle up on said
slave's chest or near their face.  I'd been enjoying this usual routine when
all of a sudden Tucker moved up even closer and laid his cheek firmly right
against mine and settled down to go to sleep. I was totally shocked and over
the moon at the same time!  Never, in all my years of slavedom, have I been
awarded such an honor!  I tell you, I have arrived!

I couldn't really talk very well with all the cheek pressure (!) but I
tried.  I begged Celeste to go find her digital camera and get a picture but
she wouldn't; then I very carefully tried to get DH's attention to come in
from the other room and look, which he did and smiled, but he wouldn't go
get my 35mm SLR to get a picture either.  Arrgh! So this moment (actually
30+ minutes worth) of my very special reward was not captured for
posterity -- SIGH!

Finally, Tucker decided he should not spoil me too much and he jumped down,
but before he did, he just lifted his face a little bit and washed my cheek
with a good 6 fat pink tongue licks just like he would grooming his bud,
Robin.

I was an honorary cat for a night!
purrs,
Christine
