I'm thinking I should force her out during the day so she'll come in at night. OTOH maybe she really prefers to go out at night.
One thing that annoys me is that she always faces away from me when she sleeps with me. She also prefers to sleep around my legs away from the reach of my hands. I know she don't want to be stroked while sleeping but her head pointing away from my head bugs me. Wonder if it's my breath?

If you know a lot here is something new to learn when a animal any animal turns their back on you when they sleep. IT MEANS THEY TRUST YOU.
And yes it could be your breath ;-) I can smell it from here

Wonder if > it's my breath? all my cats who have decided to sleep in my bed with me have chosen to sleep at the end of the bed away from my head, maybe it is just their thing. nice as it would be to be able to cuddle my jessie like a teddy bear up at my end she obviously prefers to slob out at the foot of the bed, in fact she prefers that end during the day too (which i find odd only because the head of the bed is right next to the radiator so i would have thought she would prefer that end for the extra warmth.
just be happy she wants to share your bed with you, you have been 'blessed' and should be grateful that she deems you worthy to sleep on 'her' bed

and also

he is fairly portly still but is moving around the place a fair bit, mostly reluctantly, he is 17 years old and has decided to slow down in his old age, almost to a complete halt it seems. very cuddly and a big teddy bear really and he loves clambering onto laps too, a real sweetie

Welcome home, Bookie.

It is much better now he is not in a pen all the time and can stretch his legs a bit more.
he does tend to have a permanent 'sorry for himself' look on his face most of the time so despite having been given instructions NOT to feed him too much and to stick to just his James Wellbeloved senior/light kibbles he does still get a few morsels of tuna or roast chicken every now and then (if you saw his face you would crumble too)
god, it is great to interact with proper cat people again and discuss the really important things in life ie cats

i will take some better ones soon and put them up there, he is a bit camera shy but i want to show how big he is. He was nearly 7kg when we first got him, most of that was round his gut. he also has a strange scab on his nose which just won't heal up, always been there apparantly, not sure what it is from or why it will not heal, any ideas?

What > a bit velvety boy he is! he is a big cuddly bear, his white fur round his neck is so thick and soft and he loves to have it stroked and scritched. he is currently in his usual spot flopped out behind the sofa with his tummy pressed against the radiator, every now and then i can hear little whimpers and moans and snores coming from behind me.
when people say they would never adopt an older cat I just have to look at him and think "they don't know what they are missing" .As the woman at cats protection said " all he wants is someone to love him and here he has 3 people to do that! maybe that is why he always looks so bewildered; he doens't know which one to go to for cuddles and fuss first

This is adorable. Bootie, my fat tuxedo cat does that.

Bless you. I love the expression on his face, it looks almost human!

Maybe it should be on yours instead of thinking sick thoughts about me. Pervert
