I was lying in bed.. getting what I call catted.. when I started thinking about all the different ways cats show their love and affection. As I was reading the posts here... I started wondering how different cats personalities are when it comes to them showing their love. So, I'm gonna tell you has Bastian, Drew, and Jake show their affection for me.. and maybe you can share with me your stories on how your babies show you love.
Bastian: Oh my... Bastian gives love on his own time.. if he's not in the mood.. you can give it up.. you'll get a cold shoulder. However, when he is in the mood to be affectionate.. look out. He likes to get on my chest when I'm lying down and rub his nose and face all over my neck and face. He purrs so loudly too. He loves to suckle on your ear or shirt or give teeny tiny little love bites. You can't give him just a little love and then move him away because he'll come right back at you and start meowing until you allow him to release all the love he has bottled up. I'm allergic to cats and I always end up getting real itch and sneezing a ton when he does this... but I deal with it. The sneezing and itching is worth all the love and how wonderful he can make me feel.
Drew: Drew is what I like to call the "jock" of the bunch. He's a little rascal. He'd much rather be running around pouncing on the other two and playing with his toys than showing any kind of affection. When he's not doing this.. he's dead asleep. When he does give me love.. its only a little bit.. and then its like he realizes what he was doing and scammpers off.. as if to say "Oops, maybe she didn't realize what I was doing". This is just with me. He has this special "bond" with Craig. I like to tease them about it.. saying its this male thing. Craig loves when Drew snuggles up next to him.. or asks to be held (By meowing and latching on to your pant leg with his little paws).
Jake: Jake is like the baby. He absolutely "craves" attention.. and loves to give you love. When he first wakes up he starts meowing and running right for me and Craig. It doesn't matter who gets him.. as long as he's being loved and can love back he's happy. When its bed time.. Jake comes running. You can pick him up in the middle of some hard core playing with his brother.. and he'll still stop what he's doing and give you a bunch of sweet little nudges before demanding to be put down. I've woken up in the morning to find Jake laying on my chest.. with one paw on each cheek and his forehead pressed to my lips. He was sound asleep. It melted my heart.
So, if I had to categorize my boys. Drew is the macho jockish type. Jake is the hopeless romantic. Bastian .. well.. Bastian is your typical man... (no offense to any of the men reading this) he gives you wonderful love and it makes you feel absolutely wonderful.. but he does it on his time!
So... thats how my babies show me and Craig love. Tell me about yours!
