Roxy's cute new cuddly game

Roxy loves to get under the covers, but she doesn't usually stay there.
She paws at the covers so I'll lift them for her, and she runs underneath,
does some kind of very fast but inscrutable ritual in there, and then
bolts right back out.

But this morning, instead of bolting out, she stopped right at the
opening, which was created by my hand holding up the covers. With my
other hand, I reached under and started petting her. She sat there
purring and rubbing her head all over my hand. Aww.

We could have continued this indefinitely, but I suddenly noticed that
my alarm clock was about to go off, and I didn't want her to be startled.
So I very gently reached out to shut it off - but that movement was
enough for her to decide to leave. Sigh.

I hope it's the start of a new morning ritual!

Well, first of all you have to know, when she runs under the, she is
probably checking for gremlins.  After all, she has to make sure you are
safe.

"Greeblings", surely?

Awwww, the only problem with this becoming a morning ritual is that
you are guaranteed to be late where ever you need to go. But you
already know this don't you?

Not only that, but I'm already late wherever I go. This will not
surprise anyone. :)

Snoopy sometimes gets under the covers but raely stays very long, I wish she
do it more often.

Isn`t it wonderful to have warm, furry friends in the bed.<bg>
My cats change their bed habits a lot. They seem to take turns of one
or two weeks each.
Zorro likes to sleep on my right side and changes position like I do
i.e. rolls over when I do.
She lefts after an hour or so, but there are nights where she stays
all night long.
This morning Luna decided to lie down on the left side of me. And
usually I find in the morning
one or two cats lieing on my feet. Hugo or Moritz.

Buster sometimes gets like that too!  He digs at the covers, wantimg
to come in, curls up for a few minutes, crawls back out, and then
almost immediately starts digging at the covers again.  It's very
annoying. :)  Both he and Dot will sometimes sleep under the covers
for just half an hour or so.  Betty, on the other hand, was such an
under-cover cat that she'd stay under the covers even after I've
gotten out of bed.

Buster's asleep on my lap right now, and Dot is watching over him in
the seat next to me, and waiting her turn.  I always feel very loved
on when I'm at home.

Aww, so sweet.

Miranda likes to sleep under the covers with me, and she even stays
there after I get up. But these days she will only get under the blanket
if I take a nap during the day. Then she stays there for hours after I
get6 up, usually until Caliban can't resist the temptation any longer
and digs her out.

But when she was a kitten, she used to sleep under the covers with me at
night, too. It was her safe haven from scary Nikki and Frank. She
discovered a way to sleep in bed with Meowmie without F&N even noticing
she was there. I remember how much I enjoyed having her there, snuggled
up close to me. It was something I hadn't really experienced before.
Neither Frank nor Nikki liked to do it, and I don't remember any of our
cats when I was growing up doing it, either.

She was pretty good at wrapping her new slave around her silken little
paw. :)

Early this morning, Smudge came under the covers with me. Later on, Roxy,
who had been sleeping at the foot of my bed, decided to come up toward my
head, and maybe climb on me, for a cuddle. All of a sudden, part of the
bedspread started growling at her. She stopped and stared, looking puzzled.
I put a stop to it before it turned into a full-blown hiss and spit fest,
but I got a kick out of Roxy's face. I could just see the "WTF?" above her
head. :)

Every once in a while Cleo, Amelia, or Ranger will crawl under the covers
to snuggle with their humans. Almost without fail, either Ranger or Sammy
(rarely both of them) will notice that someone is under the covers. As
soon as they figure that out you can just about hear the gears grind as
they figure the best way to dislodge the under-cover cat.

Sammy's preferred technique is to feign ignorance and walk over the
under-cover kitty lump ("Oh, is someone under there? I had no idea."). The
fact that he spent the last few minutes staring and sniffing at the lump
spoils his claims of innocence, though.

Ranger doesn't even try to pretend. He just stands a few feet away, raises
up on his back paws, and makes a "Bonzaii!!!" pounce.

LOL! Caliban can seldom resist the Mir lump for very long. His technique
is to crawl under the blanket himself and start grooming Miranda
vigorously. This will usually drive Miranda out, and I'll find her
sitting somewhere, very sleepy-eyed and looking disgruntled after her
rude awakening. Meanwhile, Caliban snoozes peacefully under the blanket.

Heehee. Once in a blue moon, Caliban will beat Miranda to the place
under the blanket, snuggled up to Meowmie. Then Miranda comes along. She
always kneads me and the blanket for a while before she politely asks me
to lift the cover so she can get under it. But when I lift it, Caliban
is already there, snoozing away! In HER place! The look of sheer
disappointment she gives me on those occasions is withering! It is clear
she is utterly disgusted with me for letting Caliban usurp Her Highness'
place.
