Cat Positioning on Humans

[Freedom]

Sparkle, my "momma's girl," insists on sitting on me when I am sitting in the recliner. She drapes herself across my chest, practically removing my head from my neck. Her head is up on my shoulder, looking away from me and, due to the positioning of the recliner, she is staring at the wall. She must be on my LEFT shoulder. I have tried moving her to my right shoulder: no way!

In bed, she likes to snuggle up next to me, back to back, (or her back to my side when I am on my stomach) both our heads on the pillow, she stretched out to have as much contact with me as possible.

Cuddles likes to sit on my back in bed (I sleep on my stomach most of the time).

Bobby prefers to be snuggled up under my chin when I am in bed. So he is on the bed, not me. Still, I can't possibly move without him knowing.

Tommy (and RB Vita) always prefer being on my face, and both get irritated when I shift position almost as soon as they get settled; breathing on my part, HUH, silly human thing.

Chestnut ( and RB Amber, my 2 orangies) want to be in easy touching distance. Amber always had to have one foot in contact with me (through the covers, of course) and would sleep in the strangest stretch and twist positions, to keep one back foot touching. Chestnut doesn't get as acrobatic, but that could be due to the bed being more crowded now, what with the 4 dogs now up there as well.

Most of our cats have always positioned on my wife. I guess she was the cat person in our family. Kallie our calico positions in various places on my wife but if allowed to it would be on her head. Hobo our RB kitty was always on the back of her neck. Since Rascal has come into our home he has adopted me and Koko. He will try to position on or near Koko, but most of the time she is not in the mood. I wake up most nights with Rascal curled up on or next to my feet. If i am sitting he will curl up in my lap. He will not have anything to do with my wife.

Yeah, I think they do. MooShoo sleeps next to me, under the covers with his head HIS pillow. Maya Linn has taken RB Mollie Rose's spot on the other side of me. Shortie, the Munchkin, sleeps right next to MooShoo. The rest of the cats find their own spots.
