Eeeeee!!!!! I accidentally found the cat's cuddle spot!!! 😻😻😻 it's much closer to the TV than I would normally sit but I decided to sit there while petting her and she CRAWLED ONTO MY LAP. I nearly died. I didn't have my phone but when she got up for a bit I grabbed it and sat back down and here she is purring up an absolute storm. She hasn't cuddled at all the whole 2.5 weeks I've been here - I'll sit here all day long to feel her purring contentedly against me1. Oh please kitty cat don't let this be a one time thing. We can chill any time. Any time at all. <3

Meanwhile Teddy is passed out drunk because of the rejection :)

Teddy is adrift without the baby boy that usually lives in this house... (who probably just drools all over him at this stage tbh)

kitty head on leg is THE best feeling.

I could die happy right now, but then I might not get to experience this again tomorrow so no dying for me today.

Aww so satisfying when they do this! The elation of being chosen! And a beautiful kitty 😍

Cats are so good at making feel like a piece of useless garbage but they also make you feel so special and divine when they choose to lavish their love upon you. No, I am not a battered cat slave, don't send help...

The teddy in the background is in perpetual free fall!

Oh when she settles in you’re going to be pinned under her

She's not at that stage yet. She prefers to stay mostly adjacent. I went to go feed her (I'm guessing this cuddliness was all a ruse...!) and now she's back to ignoring me from the other side of the house. But if I can be cat trapped by her before I head back home that would be an accomplishment indeed.
