Does anyone remember that cartoon where the big tough bull dog is caring for that little black kitten, and it gets on his back and starts to knead him before going to sleep? The bull dog makes all these little whimpering grunts and bites his lip to hide his pain...that's me! I love it when my Oliver(the only one who does this) lays on my stomach and kneads my neck at bed time. I think of it as "painful love" , and I would be so disappointed if he ever stopped sharing it with me
