Evangeline, mine do the same thing!
Big ol' bed, but they don't want to sleep on the bed, they want to sleep on me! I'll check out your pet blog!

What is it with cats sleeping right on top of us?
When I wake in the morning, I have all three on me--one across my neck, one on my belly, and one on my legs. I've had some strange cats for pets--I have a blog in pets dedicated to my little charmers.

Passionflower, One of my cats tries to pull the old
"I'm mad at you for going away" routine where they snub me, but it never lasts too long because they really would rather have the love! LOL about the cat hair...but nothing that a vacuum can't fix, right?

Cats are the best people I know.
At least, they don't start wars or produce reality shows.

My cat really missed me. She was soooo glad to see me last night. But the house was covered in cat hair cause there was no one here to vacuum for a month.

Hi Quirky,
I love my cats like that, too, although they are mostly for decorative purposes. And they suck at getting the lid off the pickle jar!
BTW...great post!

Since you like movie quotes and what not, here's one that applies, "I'll never tell."

Actually our cat didn't mind the leash as long as there was enough slack. Don't ask me how I know.

Talion, yeah, if you can get a tiger to walk on a leash then
maybe you wouldn't get laughed out of the neighborhood.
But frankly, I'm wondering if ANY cat really WANTS to walk on a leash??

Think about it. Who are the guys you see with cats? Siegfried and Roy and those prissy James Bond villains. Hell, Siegfried and Roy don't count because they have lions and tigers and such. That's a horse of a different color...or something like that.

Belle, you're right that the cats should not replace human companionship,
and though I often do prefer the cat's company, I strive for balance. After all, there are only so many things one can converse with a cat about!

Oh, Talion, you have no idea how hard I am laughing at that right now. Not
only the words but the image of you strutting along with the cat on a leash. Oh, help me, that is just too much!! No, I imagine there are not many men who would agree to walk a cat.

There is nothing sad about it.
When people spend more time with cats then people it can become unbalanced. We had cats before children but the cats stepped back when the children arrived.

One of our cats loves to go outside, so my wife bought this leash so it can be taken for walks. I didn't think it was that ridiculous until she asked me to do the walking.
"Where I'm from, guys don't take cats for walks," I said.
"Why not?" she asked.
"Because you wouldn't make it to the end of the street before someone said.'Hey, look at that pussy.Over there, the one walking the cat.'"
I can't be a softie. I have an image to maintain.

La Flier, that's hilarious! I've got a drooler in the family, too, and he
doesn't seem AT ALL worried about the stigma!

My wife is a cat lover. We have four. I wouldn't consider myself a cat lover, but out of the four, my wife brought home one and I brought the other three. Maybe I need to reevaluate my definition of "cat lover."

Drooling
One of my 2 kitties is a champion drooler. The happier he is, the more the drool. When he first lays down for a pet, maybe only one drop of drool flows per minute. If I scritch and scratch and really get him purring, the faucet turns on and get a towel! He's completely oblivious to the negative social stigma of being a drooler, which makes it kind of charming. At least until my sleeve's all wet.

about 100 to one, so...

Quirky,
Nothing sad about that, at all! At least not for the humans. The birds and gophers maybe, but not the humans.
