I went in earlier to take a much-needed nap. The minute I laid down-pitter patter of tiny feet comes running up the pet stairs and Shell is in my face. “Hello Mom, I’m feeling much better! Can I nap with you?” I settle on my side, she climbs on my hip…I THINK she is gaining weight! LOL It felt a bit heavy on the spot she chose. I wiggled a bit to see if she would get down. Nope, she wanted my hip. An hour later I wake up, she is still on my hip. I turned my head ever so slightly and told her “This isn’t going to work.” I turned as slowly and as far away from her as I could, so not to squish her, and turned on my other side. Okay, that’s fine with her- the other hip needs warming up now!
I laid on my back- she laid on my chest. On my tummy, no problem, the small of my back, a perfect place for a shell! She is nothing if not persistent.
I finally gave up and went out to the living room to catch some z’s in the recliner. If this keeps up, Mike is going to have to build us a second bedroom!
Sounds like she is feeling a bit better. Keep going Shell!!
Oh Shell, good girl. MA she sure loves you!
With some practice, you can learn to sleep (at least for a few hours) with a cat on your hip. Our Food Source did.
{{{huggss}} to you all.
This is the kind of losing proposition I LOVE!!!!
I’d try to convince her that next to your tummy or behind your knees works well..it was a solution for me with Ms. Bookie.
I am so glad she is feeling better..I know you two will work out a solution so you get some sleep, and she gets that extra snuggle warmth she is looking for 🙂
good girl Shell – you’re training her right – soon you will have your own private bedroom!
Sweet little Shelly really loves you, that is the sweetest thing.
Shell not only loves you, she’s training you to be the perfect cat bed for her too 🙂
just don’t let Shell watch Simon’s Cat on YouTube!
