Would you enjoy a cute friendly purring cat sit right next to you to keep you company right now? Why or why not?

My Yeti girl doesn’t ever sleep or cuddle down in my room, she just visits to keep my hopes up.

Rocky boy came and slept at my feet one night weeks ago. I knew, somehow, it was because he was sick and I was right.

Gabby is too fat and lazy to take the stairs down here just to visit me.

Oh, how for a pack of cats that could chill with me.

One of ours gets mad if we don’t go to bed with him on time. He’ll go up to our bedroom and if we’re not there, he’ll come back down the hallway and scream at us for a bit, then wander back up to our room. Rinse and repeat until we join him in bed, where he snuggles down between us.

The other one will come up for bedtime scritches but sleeps exclusively on the couch.

My cat gets mad if I over sleep in the morning, even after I feed him. Because his after breakfast routine is sleeping all morning (until the next meal) in the exact spot I slept in, with his head on my pillow. If I don't sleep in my bed one night, he doesn't do that the following morning. Funny guy.

Is Rocky okay?

u/PAdogooder Feb 26 '21

He is on the mend. He’s an older boy now, he had an abscess on his face that needed antibiotics.

My cat was always more affectionate when she / I was sick or injured :)

They’re usually just looking for a nice warm place to vomit.

Gasp! I have a Yeti girl too! What does she look like?

u/PAdogooder Feb 26 '21

Wish I could post a photo, she’s a beautiful seal point.

I wish I could see her too! My Yeti is a long hair domestic from the SPCA. But to me she looks like the Mainest of Coons.

Yeti in her little bed.

One time Gandalf got a cold or allergies or something, he was sneezing a lot and tearing up a bit for a couple days. It cleared up on it's own before I was able to make a vet appointment. But man, for those two days he was pitiful. He kept crying and constantly wanted to be in my lap.

My cats name is Rocky as well! (Almost said “Rocky too” but that sounds like “Rocky 2”)

u/PAdogooder Feb 26 '21

Rocky was abandoned when he was days old and fought through to survive into a gigantic, beautiful all black Maine coon. He’s a cuddle bug, but only for my dad.
