Cat kneading and BALANCING on me
Hi all.
I have a 3 year old Persian cream boy named Cooper who is just a pleasure. Over the past few weeks he has developed this very strange behavior. Every night, while i am laying on my side sleeping, he crawls on top of the covers, up my legs and balances on my shoulder. I am small framed and he is about 13 lbs so this is not an easy act for him. So while he is balancing on my shoulder, he starts kneading , purring and breathing in my face. I understand the kneading and find it adorable. The balancing part is what i find strange and hard to sleep thru. He does this several times a night sometimes for up to an hour. Any insight? Please repsond to . Thanks! Alissa |

He just wants to be with you. Why analyze it?

He seems to do it primarily in a frenzy of affection--he is so happy to see me!. He's not doing it as much as he used to--maybe Cooper will settle down as he gets older. You might want want to gently reposition him--set him down beside you and pet him and repeat! He might get the idea. He sounds like a real sweetheart. Bonnie |

This is one of the most wonderful and intimate times I have with My Tania. She is a 35Lb Female Main Coon, with 6 razor-sharp claws on each paw! At bedtime every night she joins me in bed; there she performs this ritual behavior, where she head-buts my face and then turns away while I stroke her back and gently pull on her tail as she goes..... then while I am on my back under the quilt, she settles in-between my right arm and my body, and begins this wonderful kneading on my right shoulder. Gurgle-Purring wet-nosing, mouth-nosing, and jouling my face at the same time. She and I are in total bliss; and I fall asleep during this "massage". If I wake up at night, it is because she is beside me whimpering and dreaming. I have developed callouses on my shoulder, where her claws have punctured me so many times, the skin has become hard and Tania-Resistant. In the morning, when I get out of bed, Tania first asks, then jumps on my right shoulder, balancing there perfectly while I brew my morning coffee. Give me a fine CAT any day, they are phenomenal friends!!
