I <3 your pussy.
Aww!
One of my cats insists on impeding any kind of exercise I attempt at home. Anything that involves lying down, she stands on me. And any yoga position where an affectionate kitty-headbutt will tip me over is rather dangerous.
I can haz ankel?
Whenever I try to do the plank, my cat insists on walking underneath me. With her tail held high, the better to rub against my stomach, naturally.
Hm. I think this thread is degenerating into “Yes, cats are vicious selfish destructive bastards, but they’re adorable!”
They’re so helpful, aren’t they. 😉
When someone tells you cats do not feel love, or affection, or whatever, this is how you know they are wrong.
One of my past cats was a helper like that too 🙂 The cats I have now are not very good at getting in the way yet.
