Therapy for hooman

I think it's important for us cats to help our hoomans out.

We need to keep them healthy, after all — so they can feed us and give us essential ear scritches.

So I try to keep my hooman in good shape, both mentally and physically.

Okay, I don't really help him physically, other than making him chase me when he tries to put me in the box to take me to the catty doctor.

I do try to help him mentally though.

I do this by offering therapy, in the form of...

- Soothing purrs

- Slow blinks

- Being cute

- Sitting on him, which makes him all warm

- Allowing him to stroke me

- Letting him bury his hand in my soft belly fluff


This last one is very important.

If my hooman is having a tough day, and making lots of huffing and puffing sounds, I find that allowing him to stroke my belly fur instantly soothes him.

I just hope he appreciates how much I do for him.

Lots to say

I has been wandering about with many things to say today. I has meowed in my hooman's napping quarters. I has meowed on one window sill. I has meowed on the other window sill. I has meowed by the front door. I has meowed at the cupboards. I has meowed at the chairs. I has meowed at the table. I has meowed in every room. I has meowed lots of times at my hooman. He has tried to meow back, but his accent is awful and he makes too many grammatical errors. I is very chatty today.

Cuddle time...then...

Sometimes a cat just feels like snuggling up with their hooman. Hoomans are made of warms. This happens as and when we feel like it — not all the time. Our hooman should feel privileged when we choose to snuggle with them. Last night, I left the window sill I was napping on, and, after a biiiiiiiiig stretch, I wandered over to my hooman, who was sitting on the big, long, soft chair. I sniffed him. He smelt okay. I climbed onto his legs, then onto his belly, then up onto his chest. I pushed my feets up and down a bit, then settled down into a loaf position. After some nice head strokes and ear scritches, I laid down properly on my hooman. Mmmmm — warms. I was enjoying the fuss, so I closed my eyes and had a mini-nap. All was right with the world...then my hooman moved 0.000000000000001 inches. I've never been so offended in my life. I meowed, jumped down off of him immediately, and ran into another room. Very unhappy with my hooman.

Somewhere even cooler

I has a hot. This is not the weather in which to have lots of black floof. My hooman has the turned on the thing that blows air, which is nice, but I needed a cool, dark spot...cooler than behind the drawer (see my previous post). After lots of searching, I found it. It's in my hooman's napping quarters, in the corner, below the window. I has decided to curl up there for a bit. My hooman brought over my water bowl, is bringing me occasional snacks, and is giving me head scritches here and there. This will do - at least until the evening.
