Your adorableness is the only reason you continue to live

[Salambo]

Bugaboo is both lucky she is cute and that I am no longer working. She leaps into the bed with me around 5:30am, nudges my arm to make me wake up enough to reach out and give her a few lazy pets, then proceeds to throw herself heavily against me, purring and stretching and rolling and nuzzling her head into every crevice she can find. She's a big girl, she heaves herself with some mighty whomps. Then wiggle wiggle wiggle. Then she starts licking my elbows. Then nipping. Eventually, she falls into a deep sleep. And she sleeps hard. With the other two cats, if even a muscle twitches in my leg, they scoot off. I can boot Bugaboo clear across the bed after hubby's gone to work, and she won't wake up.

She is a pretty kitty. She's got snowshoe in her somewhere (the personality traits are spot on), but she's too fluffy to be purebred.

You should have seen her when she was a kitten. So cute you could puke.

First, that is a gorgeous cat!

Second, this made me laugh and also had my nipples twitching. Why, you ask?

Well, when I did have a cat, Sqwubsy, (What? Julian Cope! FTW!) used to take great pleasure in sleeping lengthwise down my body, facing me when I would be watching telly or reading. For some unfathomeable kitty reason, I think she liked the feeling of warm breath on her. (It was only fair, she liked to wake me up with hers!).

Well, as she would relax, she'd start to purring and chilling and then she'd start kneading. Now, I like a good knead but when you have razor sharp talons and an unerring sense of nipple location it can sure take your mind off what you were doing. I think she used the claws to hang on as I would leap about two feet in the air.

I think it was a kind of kitty bucking bronco. Happy times.

First off: do eeeet! Get a keeeety! Keeeety will looooooove you!

Secondly: My esteem of you, which was already pretty high, has skyrocketed with your reference to Julian Cope. Dude, Julian Cope! Awesome. I used to be a big fan of The Teardrop Explodes.

Julian was a front-runner for boy names primarily - for me - because of Julian Cope. Eventually, hubby rejected it for a "cooler" name, but if we have two boys, it's still in the running.
