Dav is the chosen one

The usual pattern of human/cat contact in our house has been the cats follow me around, and whenever I'm seated or in bed, they pile on. For sleeping, Waka generally situates herself on my legs, and Kats curls up perfectly between my side/armpit and arm (around him for extra close snuggling). If I'm asleep, he'll tap me on the shoulder so I can open my arm, let him in, then close the hug.

But lately, he's been getting a little heavy. So much that when he leans against me, it bothers me. And my arms falls asleep. So I've been less tolerant and a few times even nudged him off the bed.

A few nights ago, Dav was in bed and I went to brush my teeth. When I came back, I found Kats had switched sides. He was proudly snuggled up on Dav's side! He'd not done that before!

Waka is her usual finicky self. She moves about a lot. But while both Dav and I are sitting on the sofa reading, she's come up to Dav, walked right between him and his book, and settled in on his lap whether he objects or not. She's doing this more and more.

Perhaps it's the colder weather, but it's nice to see both of them warm up to Dav (literally).

TuTu has always tried to sleep inbetween Ash and myself and now that we have upgraded from a Semi-Double bed to a real double bed there is lots of room for the whole family. She is a snuggler also - especially in the mornings.

We have just moved house and she seems to have taken the transition well as we were all set up for her when we finally brought her in (read snuck her in) to the new place. A little rant - why can't Tokyo landlords realise that not all pet owners will allow the apartments to be trashed.... TuTu is a very clean and quiet girl.

I think it's just the cold making them desperate for body heat.

By the way, I recommend that book I'm reading to any Sci-Fi fans. It's Rudy Rucker's Master of Space and Time. It was published in 1984, but it's perhaps going to be turned into a film soon by the directors from Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind and Ghost World. It has sort of the feel of a Douglas Adams romp, if Douglas Adams were a Californian ex-Hippie-Physicist sort instead of a Brit. It's a quick fun read, I pretty much devoured it in couple of days.

I have been meaning to comment on this post because it is sooo adorable and I know exactly how this is. Willow goes through periods where he prefers some part of my head or neck or arm. And whenever he lays on my arm it puts it to sleep. But I do so love the winters when he tends to snuggle more because it's colder!
