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'll give it a bit more. After all cats can't be reasoned with, only bribed into new behaviours.

Did you ever want to have pets, Ayer?

I never thought of it. My previous lifestyle was complicated and all.

[ When Ayer initially left home many years ago, he was way too young. He had to focus on learning how to take care of himself first and foremost. After that, he got into underground activities… But these are long ago. As he is now, he has much better circumstances to try it, though the idea never really crossed him. ]

If you're finding it difficult to take care of another human being, a pet is a good place to start.

[ educated guesses ahoy ]
