warm feeling of cuddling a cat

crushing searing pain of cat stepping on neck 😬

That point loading from their tiny little paws is painful!

They put all their weight on one foot at a pressure point and then don’t move πŸ˜–

Interestingly we had to calculate point loading of an elephant when I was in theatre tech school. Thought we were all good, then were told it was doing the one leg trick.

Yep they find that exact spot on your sternum and suddenly become an elephant

Your sternum? You're lucky, mine always stands on a boob.

That too, I find the bony bit more painful. Him trying to steal jewellery in the middle of the night is another issue…

Naughty cat! I've had the displeasure of a claw holding onto a nip to prevent a slide. Never again.

Why do the kitty gotta step on the tiddy

[–] just_kitten@aussie.zone 4 points 2 years ago

Not the boob massage I asked for that's for sure.
