Too Close for Comfort?

Tubby always sleeps with me, and Peanut sometimes sleeps with me - more in winter, less in summer. So it's not unusual that I wake up in the middle of the night and find myself locked in, one on each side of me.

Well, imagine my surprise when I woke up in the middle of the night and not only found them both on the same side, but right next to each other!!! I really believe this is the closest they've ever been for any length of time! :eek: And me, being the good Pet Talker that I am ;) even though it was literally 2:00 am and I couldn't see anything because I didn't have my contacts in, I went stumbling upstairs to get my camera to get a pic of it for you guys. :D

So here they are. You can see Peanut has been so rudely awakened and Tubby's not sure if he has been awakened or not. And of course you'll have to excuse the messy bed because I just climbed out of it. ;) :D

And yes, I believe Peanut was actually....hold your breath now....touching Tubby!!! :eek: :eek:

The gunky stuff on Tubby's back is Neosporin. The bacterial spot that was on his tail awhile back cleared up, but then it moved to his back. That spot cleared up, but now there's another one. So hopefully this one will clear up and that will be the end of it already.

Aww. How cute they are. And what a good pet talker you are to try to see to get your camera and a picture. Thank you for posting those pictures.

Now that's a dedicated Pet Talker. She hauls herself out of bed at 2am just to get a picture for us. That's above and beyond the call of duty :D Sometimes Max and Speckles are sleeping on the bed only a foot away from each other and it truly amazes me. I've come to the conclusion that they must be too sleepy to care.:D

Debbie - I do a lot for PetTalkers but I am not sure whether that involves taking pictures at 2 a.m.:D :D :D

Thanks a lot.

And I tell you: Whenever you're not home, Tubby and Peanut do it all the time:D

I think that's what happened here because I fell asleep with Peanut on top of me and Tubby not in bed yet. So that means she was there first and didn't bother to move when he jumped up. Which is amazing since the second he jumps up anywhere she is, she immediately jumps down. She must be getting more relaxed in her old age. ;) :D Oh, and I'm doubly surprised because with him licking on her lately, she hates it even more when he's near, but I think she's just getting to lazy to move right away like she used to. :rolleyes: :D

Now that's a truly dedicated PT'er! We should have some sort of award for 2:00 a.m. pic-taking! ;)

They are TOO CUTE. You KNOW they probably do that all the time when you're not looking!

Cute pictures. Afraid I wouldn't think of getting the camera, I would just go back to sleep.

I'm glad you are so dedicated because you now have proof AND we all got to see it!! I must tell you that you take really good pictures for someone who was half asleep and no contacts!!!
Maybe beautiful Peanut is finally realizing that Tubby really is one big handsome HUNKA!;) http://petoftheday.com/talk/images/our_smilies/wink.gif :D :D http://petoftheday.com/talk/images/o...es/biggrin.gif

Or...maybe Peanut didn't have her contacts in either and didn't realize just how close he was!

You are right , when you say , that Cats relax , as they get older. Plus the fact is , they gradually realize that the other Cat is not going to hurt him, and can be an useful ally. Found cats MMMMMMMMMMMMMMMEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOW WWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWfor Peanuts and Tubby!!!!!!

Ok, ok, so I'm not quite that dedicated. ;) :D

Thanks everybody. Last night it was so warm here that I only had Tubby in bed. Peanut is like the rest of us who are reaching "that" stage in life and can't stand to be too warm while we're sleeping. Didn't see her until it was time to get up this morning. :D

I was just thinking the same thing.

aw, miss Peanut - you continue to be full of surprises.:D

Its so cute to see them in the same picture - you can really see the difference in their sizes that way.:)

Yeah, Peanut is about 9 lbs and Tubby is about 15. She is such a petite little feminine thing and he is the big beefy boy kitty. :D

It looks like Peanut is really mad at you here saying "I was not touching him mom! And shouldn't you be sleeping at 2 AM anyway!":p
Thanks for getting the camera and getting proof that Peanut really loves Tubby.:)

Awwww! I love it too when Sam and Daisy are both on the bed. Sam normally jumps down if Daisy comes up. I must say though, I just smile to myself and go back to sleep. I have NEVER considered going to find a camera!!

I'm very impressed. ;) :D

Great pictures.:D Debbie, I'm so glad that you're such a dedicated Pet Talker that you decided to take pictures too.:) I'm sure that T&P have been doing this for quite a while now.

First....they are way too cute! I'm so glad you captured this event on "film" (memory?) for us to see. :)

Second...I'm so glad I'm not the only one. I've had to resist the urge many times to sneak out of bed and capture something cute the fuzzies are doing while sleeping. The kittens LOVE to cuddle with us at night and I would love to capture that for PT.

:D
