That point loading from their tiny little paws is painful!
They put all their weight on one foot at a pressure point and then don’t move 😖
Yep they find that exact spot on your sternum and suddenly become an elephant
Your sternum? You're lucky, mine always stands on a boob.
That too, I find the bony bit more painful. Him trying to steal jewellery in the middle of the night is another issue…
Naughty cat! I've had the displeasure of a claw holding onto a nip to prevent a slide. Never again.
Interestingly we had to calculate point loading of an elephant when I was in theatre tech school. Thought we were all good, then were told it was doing the one leg trick.
