I presently work during the evenings. When I awake early I try and take a nap before work and Socrates and/or Tiger will curl up in that cute lil' ball next to me and, I swear, I fall asleep so much faster with them in bed with me.
Now, when I awake, knowing I have to get ready for work they're both laying in bed looking all warm, cuddly and cute and it makes it SO much harder to geyt up and get ready.
Now, Tiger can tell when I'm about to leave. When he sees me putting on my shoes he gets all lovey. It's his way of telling me he doesn't want me to leave, so I end up getting out the door 5 minutes later because I HAVE to give him love. Not to mention, he plays fetch with his favorite toy, bringing it to me and looking at me, waiting til' I pick it up and toss it across the room so he can go get it and bring it back to do it all over again.
Or Socrates will decide to crawl onto Dads lap and lay down, purring away. Then he tilts his head down and butts the top of his head into my face for kisses.
I think this is all a secret plan on their part to keep me from leaving. And it DOES make it much harder to leave.
Another funny thing is, when I first bring someone over, if my cats don't approve I know they won't be friends. One of my friends asked me "What if you meet a woman who really likes you but don't like your cats?"
My response: "It's a package deal. You either eacept my babies or there's the door".
