    This is my Lily. She doesn't do it every day, thankfully, but some mornings she has to be petted at about 4:00 am.

    This describes my cat to a T. I've seen that exact expression too many times! :-)

    I agree, one day I bought my cat a no-name brand and she refused to eat it! After three days I had to give up and buy her her usual

    Is any one else like me? I would carefully climb on the bed utilizing only the space allotted me by my feline. And when one of the cats, or any combination of the three are in bed with me, I will not disturb them by moving—even if it means I stay in one position until in pain—and then STILL will not move?

    Yeah, I had a beautiful boy cat who hogged the bed. He's gone now and I'd so much rather him be here, taking up all the bed :(

    My cat does all this and i am willing to give him all my space, but not my blanket. I always tried to get a little piece of my blanket back. With more or less success ;0)

    one of my cats likes to sleep between my legs. Can we say that after awhile I want to scream I hurt so bad but I never ever move!

    NO KIDDING! The cat that adopted US likes to drop things for our dogs to play with, and, eventually EAT.

    Years ago, worked for a home heating oil company in CT. We had a small spill at a delivery site, on the street. Later we received an irate call from a homeowner whose cat walked in the oil and then on to her white rugs. We replaced the rugs.
