my cat kneads me

my cat, bear, cannot resist plants. i cant have any plants or flowers around him, since he will chew them to bits. i use it against him when he is in a room he shouldnt be; by rustling a few leaves he will come running, unable to stand against their powers.
this past week i havent been home much. because of that, bear has been following me around like hes afraid to let me out of his sight. as soon as there is a lap available, he is there, looking deep into my eyes like im either food or a drug he really needs. if i dont pet him, he pets me - my neck and face, and rubs his wet nose all over my chin.

puppy, however, is more aloof. she doesnt like to be on a lap often but loves to rub her face against furniture. when my sleeping form is on the couch like it was this morning, she is more than willing to find a spot to nap on. strangely, she listens more than any other cat ive known, usually coming when you call her name. she is also a good cat, always waiting for someone to tell her its okay to come into a room that shes usually not allowed in.

these cats are my only company these days.

you have other friends to keep you company, even if it's from a distance :)
