My cat is as dumb as a box of rocks, and she thinks the world will end if she doesn't see me on a regular basis. Just me. The fiance will not do. She trusts the roommate about as much as she likes getting a bath, which is not much at all. As far as she is concerned, her world would be a better place if it included only myself. And food, of course.

So I would be a bad person if I stopped letting her sleep with me. We have this issue every fall. It starts getting colder, and like all cats, she prefers to sleep in warm places. Unfortunately, the warmest places are:

1) curled up against where my breath comes out (Yay nose clogged with cat butt fur.)

2) on my head (This would not be so bad if all parts of her were soft and cuddly, but some of them are bony and sharp, and sometimes these bony parts poke me in the eye.)

3) under the covers with me. (Which is fine, until someone rolls over and gets their side aerated. Also if she can't find a way in, she will pick at whatever body part is in her way. This is not comfortable either.)(Bonus points if you scare her away such that she runs over the fiance on the way out of the bed.)

Enough parentheses for you? I think so. In conclusion, my cat is annoying and I am not sure why I love her so much, but I do.
