Having coffee, smth sweet and a followup cigarrete in the morning makes me happy to be awake. Or kiss goodbyes and hellos.

I've been in a bad place lately and I kind of needed this. Thank you... At first I didn't know how to answer this question.

Going to bed and calling the cats in to sleep with us. Some one always goes in the 'leg basket'. When I wake up I pet anyone around, kiss the S.O. and start my day.

It's not everyday but I leave sticky notes around with sayings or love notes for the S.O. I enjoy everything about this.

That's beautiful, keep spreading the love and hope you do better โค๏ธ.

Thanks. ๐Ÿ’› For the last couple months its just been one thing after another. Hopefully on the other side of this problem is time to relax. Cheers.

Can't have cats in the bedroom. I'd wake up 3-5 times a night because somebody jumped on me or is sniffing my face with all those tickling whiskers.

I hear this! Mine now tries to snuggle up by shoving his butt toward my face, and draping his tail across my mouth.

Currently have not one but two in the leg basket, lol. They rarely sleep with us and when they do even more rare for them to snuggle together despite being litter mates. I have to pee but i hate to disturb the cuddling. They're in the early adult years and snuggled as kittens so I hope they'll eventually return to doing it more often.

That's why I'm here. I have one in the basket, one at my feet, and the other wrapped around my left arm... Its 4am, I can't sleep, as soon as one of them moves I'm going to get up ans watch some TV before work.

We have a two 1 year olds from the same litter, they cuddle as kittens but not so much anymore. The male is a bit of a jerk to the female but he's starting to settle down.

Also, 2 kittens, they were neutered a month or two ago. They're crazy and cuddle with everyone when they're not ripping up our toilet paper all over the house or locking themselves in a room (playing behind the door until it closes)
