my youngest Shrapnell got her at 2 months of age.. farm cat landed well.
He does not respect personal spaces, not mine or the other cats..
When I'm a sleep, he jumps up and comes right to my face.. often puts his paws on my mouth, pretty much smothering me..
He does love his hoomin a lot
And he is totally comfortable laying really really close.
obviously i was not a sleep, had to take the pic myself .. but thats really how he comes to sleep with me ..
My girl cat likes to be near by, but not that close, I move around to much,
Granpaw at 22 same, I think he needs space due to athritis and aching bones.. no longer as flexible as the young turd is
