For those of you who are pet owners - particularly those of cats, what advice do you have for someone whose cat seems to have eschewed their bed in favour of sleeping on your chest and/or face?

The picture was taken by my best friend who was concerned that I did not immediately answer the door (I was trapped, I didn't want to disturb my cat he seemed so peaceful...)

I have no problems with him in my bed, but it is not a pleasant sensation to wake up not being able to breathe because there is a bundle of cat in the way.

I'm not saying that my cat is trying to kill me, but there have been a couple of close calls. Do I need to bribe him back to his bed? Or is his bed insufficient and he needs another one?

I suppose they find it comforting! You could say it's a sign that they trust you. Inconvenient as that trust may occasionally be.

But it is a trust which should be treasured nonetheless.

Thank you for the insight. In many ways pets truly are mysterious things.

That's right!

The inability of animals to properly communicate with us definitely lends to their mystery. But in a way, that makes it all the more rewarding when you correctly guess what it is they wish you to understand. I used to have all sorts of trouble with Ruoye, back in the day...hopefully this cat of yours won't be quite as much of a handful.

I hope not. Mute has been my steadfast friend, and I'm glad he came with me to this place. I only wish I knew what he was thinking a bit better.

Thank you for your time. I wish you luck with your Ruoye if he is here with you.
