Kacey usually sleeps next to my pillow, and every once in awhile he'll reach a paw back to tap my face--making sure I'm still there, maybe? Or that I know he's still there? Or that I know that he knows . . . oh, forget it!

With Hagrid, on the other hand, I get more than a paw on my ankle. I get the whole darn cat. And he's a lot of cat.

Kiri and Cricket will rest a paw on me sometimes. Especially if one of them is sitting next to me on the sofa. Under those circumstances, I interpret it as "Don't you dare move. I don't want to be bounced around on the sofa cushions."
