I know this probably sounds corny but snuggling with my boy cat makes me smile. Mimi and I do not snuggle that much in warm weather but he sure seeks it out when it is cold. He will get right up in my face and meow in a very demanding manner. I look to the food bowl, then the water bowl and the litter box to make sure all is right in his world. Then I know he is telling me to lay down and take him in my arms.

Which I do. He will close his eyes the instand I start petting him and he purrs softly always. After a few minutes, he will sigh deeply and twist and contort himself around to where his head is tucked up under my neck with his ear to my breast. His little paws folded under him with his rear paws tucked under my breasts. He will sleep there for two, three or more hours. He will get up to eat or whatever and maybe fifteen minutes he is back for more cuddling.

I have been a cat lover all my life but have never known a cat to snuggle like this or for such a long period of time.

Mimi, is a rescue from a mean lady that went off and left him last Dec. He had been visiting me almost daily since I moved in almost three years ago. I was so angry with her leaving him like that especially in the beginning of winter. He continued the visiting until Dec. 24th when I just had to bring him inside. He has been inside ever since. The first few months he made my life hell with howling first in one bedroom window and then across the room to the other. I tried to find him a home for awhile. But he is here to stay.

So yes, when he gets down to snuggling with me it makes me smile and I do not feel so alone.
