So sometimes we cats have stressful days and nights. Sometimes you need the cuddle cure. It’s not all naps, yarn balls and catnip toys all the time.
For example, last night my male human let me in after I did my business. I was humiliated to realize that I had a little of my business stuck to my furry butt. Well my female human wrestled me into a full nelson while my male human wiped my butt to get off the nastiness. He had to do a few rounds of wipes to really get me cleaned off. I was grumbling the whole while.
After they were done I crawled under a desk and hid out for a while. It was really embarrassing and I was a bit put off by the manhandling. I spent a little time cleaning off the remaining nastiness myself, then I curled up into a little ball and slept for eight hours.
When morning came around my male human came into my bedroom and I looked at him thinking how nice he was to wipe my butt the night before and how unfair I was in giving him a bit of a hard time. I chose that moment to initiate a cuddle from him to show him how sorry I was and to get comforted after such a traumatic episode.
So cats, the key to getting a cuddle cure from your human is to follow them around, rub against their legs and not take any offers, such as food or being let outside. You just stare up at them with your beautiful cat eyes and they can’t resist picking you up and holding you close.
My male human, David, did this for me and we both melted and bonded. It was cuddle heaven! I was then ready to venture outside and he was ready to get on with his day. Then I came back in and slept for another five hours while he went off to work to earn money to buy me more food and catnip toys.
Life is good!
Uhm, Megan, you should let them wipe your butt after doing your business, then you don't have too. My mommy always calls me after she scoops my mess so she can clean me up. I just drink water or eat and she wipes me with paper from the same roll she uses on herself! Then sbe shows it to me and I meow, "thank you for saving me from licking that sh*t!" ;)
