Foster cat loves my armpits.

Gee, to hospice for a kitty. That would be to heartbreaking for me. KUDHO'S to you!

I don't think it was deodorant since I never wear any on weekends, though there could be some trace from Friday morning. I don't think it's attachment since it's too soon. Frankly, I think it's desperation.

Goodness knows how many years she has been living on the streets, certainly long enough not to understand soft furniture, and, weak as she is, she bolted out of the front door the moment I opened it on Sunday. She hadn't turned feral, but I think it's been years since she had physical contact with humans. She purrs the moment I walk into a room, and she must be able to smell or sense me because she has cataracts.

On Thursday evening, I left her in the bedroom alone to get used to things and she ignored the sofa, the bed and even the cat beds on the floor, simply hunkering down on the wood floor. When I slept in her room on Friday night, I carried her into the bed and she gradually got more and more comfortable with cuddling, though she got down in the night and ended up on the floor again. By Sunday, she was following me everywhere, getting up by me whenever I sat down, talking at me, and just cuddling in as close as she could. She's a heartbreaker.

She loves you so very much!!! How touching is this!!!
She probably feels that you're the best that ever happened to her!

The only thing I can think of is that maybe it's hormonal, the smell that your armpits give off, I mean. Plus snuggling in there where it's warm, secure and dark may remind her of the womb. Just guessing here. Bless you for giving her comfort and love in her last days, sweet girl.

Yep, Ed does that, especially during cold weather, and it is indeed, the pits!

I hope his nose isn't cold. My Cordelia has a wet cold nose all the time (no, she's not sick) and loves to shove it in my face, in my ear, under my chin, dive under the covers and put her nose on any bare spot, it's absolutely horrible and I always end up shrieking. I can't imagine having a wet nose in my armpit.

You probably ARE the best thing that ever happened to her!

God bless you for giving this dear girl love and warmth and comfort for the rest of her life.

And Vita, settle down and ENJOY.... you are HOME now!!!
