Post 688: arm warmer…

Dougy loves to sleep pressed against my arm. Here’s the earliest photo of him doing just that. He was around three months old at the time, and the pattern was set.

Sometimes he's satisfied to just be near me.

Sometimes he’s satisfied to just be near me. Notice his adoring gaze…!

Other times he wraps himself around my arm, totally immobilizing my mousing abilities. This photo, in fact, had to be taken left handed, upside down.

Of course, I Photoshopped it a bit for your comfort! This is the original.

Could be worse. When he faces me, he sometimes has happy paws on my poor, naked skin. He digs right in!

He means no harm, of course. Ouch! Kitty love is a rough love.

    • If I didn’t need the arm to operate my mouse, I’d love having the kitty warm-up on it. Sometimes he sleeps with me at night this way, and that’s OK since he really is a great arm warmer!

    And yes, cat love is rough – when cats mate, you would not want to be in either position. The males gather around a female in a “circle” (more or less) and they take turns in trying to go for her, but she beats the crap out of them. Unless they manage to bite her in the neck (not hurting her skin) – then she becomes submissive. I can understand the female is underwhelmed at the prospect of the male getting into her – his penis has barbed hooks – not very pleasant, but this way he makes her ovulate after he inseminated her. This way queens manage to get pregnant from more than one tom!
