Trapped...

I guess that *somebody* is trying to tell you to relax and chill out today.

Cassie Cat's turn - she won't stay as long. She's not so into laps. But she'll sleep all night on my ankles.

I've had kitty on my lap vs notebook computer for a couple of days now - every evening. I did pull the heating pad out for my kitty that's suffering from his arthritis and cancer - he now chooses to lie on that, but he still comes over for lap time, and tries to lie on top of my hands.

somewhere I have a photo that dh took during the summer. I am asleep on the bed, lying on my back. One cat is curled up on my chest, another (the big maine coon- 22 pounds) is asleep, draped across my thighs while the youngest is curled up against my ankles. Lately miss Ike, the baby has taken to sleeping under the blankets with us, cruled up against my knees, at night.

Gaffer (aka Emo Cat) is asleep on my lap as I type. He has a sore paw at the moment so is feeling even more smoochy than usual and sorry for himself. We have three cats. Our elderly female Burmese insists on being let under the duvet to sleep on my right side. Gaffer sleeps curled up against my chest on the right. Our little moggy usually sleeps on either my or my husband's feet. We definitely need a king-sized bed!

It's amazing how a cat on your lap can bring your whole day to a halt! It completely defies the laws of physics the way a 10 pound cat can pin you down.

Houston (We Have a Problem), our boycat, like to sleep under the covers, too. Mostly he's warm and cuddly, but occasionally he likes to knead me and he's very bad with his claws. I have no idea how he breathes under the blanket and down comforter. I guess he's a facultative anaerobe...

trapped in the mornings when the twins, mellow and johnny, come out from under the bed and lay all over my neck and chest. i just love it. i'll stay that way and just read around them. life is so good.

BTW, roadie gal, mine like to knead too, have you trimmed their claws? it's so easy to do and they can knead to their hearts' content and not pierce skin.

Trust me a king size bed won't help.........I have a Pomeranian and a cat and they take up more room than my husband and I :-)

Awwww... I do the heating pad trick for Peanut. She's about 15 now. She limps when she gets up from a nap and it takes her a while to get 'primed' as I call it to get up on the bed. Every evening she still tears through my apartment like she is a kitten again though? Poor thing I have to point out the kitty treats I throw to her now, she can't see very well any longer. She's still happy though, she purrs and loves to play with her little fishing pole and her catnip mouse.

I'm sort of trapped here...cat likes to sleep on technology. Usually it's my phone, but she's stretched out across the power cord for my laptop (which is about dead).
