My Lovely Tom Cat
Hi
I have had my lovely tom cat from a kitten and he is now 3 years old. I have never owned a tom cat before and he is just so adoreable, but there is a behaviour that he does religiously every single morning and wondered why he does it. He sleeps in the house but late at night he always sleeps at the side of me. When I wake in the morning he is basically waiting for me to wake up, the moment I stir, he is there in my face. He then starts to purr loudly and then rolls all over me, putting his paws on my eye lids, or nose or mouth. He then rubs his face under my neck, in my hair, in my face and even though I push him away he just keeps doing it all the time and this can go on for up to an hour. Its not got to the stage where when I know I am awake, I keep my eyes shut so I can have about another 15 minutes to wake up properly otherwise he literally dives into my face. I then get up and he is so under my feet I stumble and trip up over him even though he knows I have to go to the bathroom, and he sits on the edge of the bath until I am ready to leave and then as I go to walk down the stairs he races like a lunatic to the bottom and looks back to make sure I am walking down the stairs. This has been going on since he was about 1 year old and I just would like ot know if this is normal behaviour and if so what is he doing and why? Thanks |

This has been going on since he was about 1 year old and I just would like ot know if this is normal behaviour and if so what is he doing and why? It's called love. He loves you. You're his human. My Gracie does similar things. I wake up with her ENORMOUS eyes looking into mine. She walks on me and kneads me, goes to sleep on me, and slithers up for petting, lays beside me like a rag doll, then follows me all around the house, greeting me, talking to me, then jumping away to gather up a throw rug into a burrito to kick to death, coming back to rub against my legs, running away with a "mmrrrrrp!" to zip around the house and body slam her favorite toys. When I go back up to my office, she lays on the warm router beside my chair, and if I look down ishe is usually looking at me expectantly, so I play with her with the elastic string she loves. If I get engrossed in work, or am on the phone and let my hand hang down instead of resting it on my desk, she gives me these hilarious little love nips. She was adopted as a 1-2 year old in 2001, and she has gotten warmer and more fun, displayed more personality the more "at home" she has felt, or the longer she has been here, anyway. -- Posted via a free Usenet account from http://www.teranews.com |

@ntlworld.com: he sits on the edge of the bath until I am ready to leave and then as I go to walk down the stairs he races like a lunatic to the bottom and looks back to make sure I am walking down the stairs. Robert A. Heinlein, in /The Door into Summer/, called this behavior "following me ahead of me". -- Stan Brown, Oak Road Systems, Tompkins County, New York, USA http://OakRoadSystems.com/ "If there's one thing I know, it's men. I ought to: it's been my life work." -- Marie Dressler, in /Dinner at Eight/ |
