My bed buddy

Vino's definitely gotten way, way more affectionate since his health
scare last month. Not only is he a lap fungus every single night on the
couch now, he is also a total bed buddy.
The bed thing might have something to do with him being cold, but I
think he genuinely seeks more physical contact with his hoomins now. I
think he loves us more now because we made him feel better when he was
so sick.
What he does is he comes up and paces back and forth in front of my head
when I'm lying in bed. Purring up a storm. Eventually, I grab him and
stuff him under the blanket with me. I'm lying on my side and he curls
up with his back to my chest and his head and shoulder resting on my
bottom arm. He purrs like crazy non-stop.
Eventually I'll have to turn over, so I gently slide out my arm from
under him and he lays his head down on my pillow next to mine. He will
sleep like this for hours. Just like a hoomin, body under the blanket,
head sticking out and on the pillow. Soooooo sweet :-)
He has definitely recovered from his blockage now. He is eating more
food (I am down to mixing only 1/3 of a can of Iams with a whole can of
the s/d) and has put a lot of weight back on. He races around the house
and yard and bats his furry mouse around. He is no longer only sleeping
in the meatloaf position. His fur is growing back on all his shaved
patches and I even see some tiny hairs appearing right where his abscess
was. So it looks like eventually he won't even have that dime sized
bald spot. Soon he'll be posing for pictures again :-)

You know what he's saying right?

"Meowmie, i love you furry FURRY much, for always and FUREVER! Just
don't ever ever EVER take me back to that horrible place where they
stuck something up my you-know-what"

Mayhem was VERY clingy after i adopted her after she spent a whole
semester being handle, poked, prodded and x-rayed as a program cat at
my college. She was saying, "I love you, but don't you EVER take me
back there AGAIN!!!"

So glad to hear he is recovering.

We have a terrible feeling that Nocturne has, in essence "adopted" us
as her "kittens." Hence, the tough love thing...and all the incessant
tending, particularly if we are sad or sick. And we are not permitted
to go to bed without her on our heads, observing and warming us.

Oh, you poor things, having to put up with that!

Nocturne is a closet sweetheart. You keep coming up with example after
example. She can't fool me anymore, she's a softie at heart!

Aww, you're "spooning" him.

Aaaaaackkk! Too much cuteness, I've just short-circuited!!

Soon he'll be posing for pictures again :-)

Looking forward to them!

Good lord Joyce I saw that and almost fell over backwards laughing so hard.
Sorry the mind went to the gutter at first my first thought was what the
other meaning of "spooning" is :-o

Can't wait for new Vino pics! Glad to hear he is doing so well. Bed
buddies are so sweet. I miss that so much. Miranda and Caliban are only
occasional bed buddies, not constant companions like Frank was.

Sooooo glad to hear Vino's feeling better and on the fast track to
recovery, Britta. =o) Definitely allow his fur to grow back, every cat
has their little vanities.

Nina is my bed buddy in this hemisphere. She keeps the bed greebling
and bed mouse population under tight control, as you might imagine.
Unfortunately, her vigilance on my behalf is a little hard on my fitted
sheets. =o) Francesca has discovered that coming over and chewing on my
hair every morning is an effective way to send the message "It's time
for Kitty Breakfast, Meowmie. Roll out!"

Both girls send purrs for Vino's continued health, and want to say
they both think he is a handsome devil.
