Where my cats are
It's a bright sunshiney day here! Even the birds outside seem extra peppy right now. Although if it wasn't a small flock of Starlings and a blackbird attacking the suet I have out I'd be enjoying them a little more. They usually aren't around in the winter. Little pigs! Mooch has been enjoying watching them though.



How do your cats say "I love you?"



Mooch is affectionate. She meeps and comes close for pets; not quite rubbing on your legs. If I'm sitting she wants to be in my lap. Noodles says I love you by glaring at you and bopping you when shes not hungry. When shes hungry she follows me around and acts adorable. Lately she spends a lot of time on a tall chair in the kitchen where I have her self-heating bed and one of my hoodies that she has claimed. I'm getting lots of those glares from there. :lol: But I know she loves me because I can go pet her and she enjoys that. She's not super affectionate with anyone else really. Once in a while if Mooch isn't around she will sit in my lap for a bit. She used to snuggle up on the back of the couch near me a lot but hasn't recently.

My boy will stand on his back legs and put his front paws on my knee.

I've not had any other cat do this ( possibly in part because they weren't this tall), and there's something so incredibly darling about it, I can't even explain :cloud9: :redheartpump::redheartpump:
I know what you mean. Zoe does that and it's so cute. Then I pick her up like a little baby and give her hugs and kisses.

Lilith loves to snuggle with me. When I go to bed, she's rght behind me and finds a snuggle spot right beside me. She also likes to sit behind me in the recliner. She knows when I don't feel well and glues herself to my side.

Sophie loves to sit in my lap or next to me in the recliner. If I stop petting her, she will head butt my hand or tap my arm with her paw. She also loves to snuggle in bed with me but gets mad if her sister gets there first. They have gotten better and will take spots on either side of me. They used to chase each other off the bed.

Remy wakes me up every morning so I'll lift up my blanket and let him sleep under the covers with me. It's annoying, but I take it. Maisie shows her love a little differently. She's still hesitant around me even after a year, but I figure since she doesn't run as much when I walk around my apartment that she at least trusts me somewhat.

This goes on for some time. Then head butts, then curls up in my lap. She also sleeps under the blankets with me, usually against my stomach.

Samai, doesn't attack me - just kidding - well, no I'm not. She follows me everywhere I go, she climbs on my lap, lies on my legs and chews my hair. Although, I'm not sure that last one is love.
She also sleeps with me, but outside the covers, on my legs or on my head. (probably so she can chew on my hair)

When I lie down, Diamond will lie on my chest, make biscuits and ...drools. No worries, I always have a tissue!

Seal will roll over on his back and let me rub his belly while he gives me sweet love bites. I usually discourage any kind of bites, but his tickle. And he is such a good kitty, he gets away with anything! When I am sitting, he will climb up onto my chest. I will hold him while he nuzzles and purrs.

Leonid will jump onto my lap and head butt me. Then he's very disappointed if I don't hold him for a while. Sometimes, like tonight, he will nuzzle me and lay his head against my chest. He also likes to lie on my chest and head butt and nuzzle me when I am lying down. Both Seal and Leonid like to sleep with me. Though Leonid gets up regularly to patrol his domain. :thumbsup:

All their affection and love makes such a big difference in my day!:redheartpump::redheartpump::redheartpump:

Vincie girl sits on my lap every morning while I'm having tea and on my laptop. She puts her sweet head under my arm and purrs and farts at the same time. That is her way of showing love. She will sit for as long as I can sit. She will dance with me and purr as well and she loves being hugged.

Callie likes to put her paw on my face, then wants me to pet her darling head.
We cuddle a lot in bed. The Vincie girl doesn't like being upstairs anymore. Someone who is a vet assistant told me it was because her vision is so poor and she doesn't feel safe so I don't push it.

In the kitchen
It's funny with Mollipop. If I don't come home from work right away (a meeting, for example), Rick says she'll wait by the top of the stairs. But when I don't come, then she goes to Rick for solace....Mom isn't home yet! Where is she? And then when I do get home, she's yelling at me: "Where were you? I was worried sick! I need comfort! Treats will do!" :) At night, as soon as I go to bed, even if it's just to read, Molli is right there. She'll sit on Rick's side of the bed and watch me as I get situated. Get the iPad, arrange the bed covers, etc. Then I'll put my left arm out, she'll come in and curl up. And that's that for pretty much the night. She'll purr herself to sleep. She loves me to caress her forehead; she'd be happy if I did that for hours. Sometimes she'll awaken and put her face up to my face and give me a lick.

Molli can kiss! If I put my face up to her and pucker my lips, she'll lean into me with her face. It's like she knows what I want and she's fine with it.

The other night I was on the computer. Molli wanted to go to bed and, evidently she wanted me with her. She was sprawled out in bed and I thought she was asleep. I was on the computer for a couple minutes. Soon she came padding into the computer room. She stopped, looked at me and started meowing like crazy: "Look, I nursed you when you were dying. I took care of you. And you can't even come to bed with me now? What's wrong with you? Mom!" At least that what it sounded like. I got off the computer, said, "OK, let's go!" and she turned right around, ran over to the bedroom, hopped up on the bed, and waited for me. And you can bet that I went right to bed with my girl! :redheartpump:

...with the cats...
our Dude will 'tuck me in' many nights by curling up next to my legs :redheartpump:, in the cold weather months will curl up in my arms under the blankets :D, and knows when i'm ill and will stay close to me!

little DeeDee will exchange 'slow binks' with me, several times each day. she loves to be held, kissed, and cuddled with, and just purrs and purrs...:cloud9: DeeDee also will 'tuck me in' bed at night quite often, laying next to my pillow.

and our Punky loves to be near me, no matter what i'm doing around our home. she's also the first one to greet me when i get back home, and is happy and excited to see me! :lovecat:
