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!

thanks. Yes - i do know that...hard to sleep when have your kitty
desperatley trying to balance on your shoulder and arm while
sleeping. Love him to pieces and the kneading and purring i find
adorable - the balancing is tough and i woould never kick him out.


One of my cats does this also. Clover's a big cat, too. 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.
