Giving Mom a Treat
Kitties! Usually when I sleep with mom, I am in a little ten pound ball rolled up against her front or her back. Last night, just as she was falling asleep, she felt me creeping up in the dark and settling right into her midriff. She smiled a bit I know and fell the rest of the way asleep. Hours later, she woke probably to turn over and felt me still there.
But the "treat" part comes next here---she woke and discovered that I had relaxed and stretched totally out, with my arms stretched out too toward mom's head and my legs all stretched out pointing to her feet. My back was pressed all along her and I allowed her to pet me while I remained unmoved. I slumbered on. She was able to stroke down from my face and whiskers (that was an accident on her part) all the way down to where my tail hooks on. She did that for a few minutes and then she went back to sleep.
That was a treat for momma because I just don't ever stretch all the way out like that with even my arms extended. I am sure glad for my home and my mom. She doesn't get a lot of comfortable sleep because she won't move me or wake me (so far) but I guess I'm worth it to her. MOL. I know other families with multiple cats are pretty crowded during the night. I always wondered why we like to sleep with our pawrents or human brothers and sisters. Can't be the bed because we don't hold the bed down all day as well.
Looks as though most kitties and their mom's say that there isn't a defined difference between girl and boy cats; that it appears to be individual personalities and that the socializing we get (or not) when we are babies makes a huge difference. There does seem to be a general thought that girl cats are drama queens more than boy cats as well as perhaps a bit more independent.
We fanks you for answering us as another kitty (a boy cat and love bug) and I were discussing the matter and couldn't come to a conclusion.
As for me, and also in parting, mom says I am THE single most all day and all night demonstrative little girl she has ever seen. Admiral was loving when she was approached or when she crawled into bed but I seem to take the crown. And that is NOT taking anything from beloved Admiral. We are all different.

Fursday Poll
Kitties and Woofies, I have a question for you if you care to let me know. Your pawrents too.
Long time ago when mom was casting about looking for another kitty to love and care for after finally not grieving quite so hard for Hopping John, she mentioned her quest to a friend. That friend had two female woofies I might add.
Mom said she had always had boy cats and so she was setting about the neighborhood hoping for some kitten families. One such family was found across the street! Mom's friend stressed that mom should get a girl cat. She said that girl cats tended to stay in their established territories, that the territories were smaller than with boy cats. AND she said that the girl cats were just kinda girly in a cat sort of way. The boy cats are loving of course as are the girl cats but that girl cats did tend to stick closer to home.
Mom DID get a girl cat, Robin, and Robin was truly a cat among cats. She is the girl that mom mentioned a few times that helped mom rear her three sons, who nursed the whole family through illnesses, and who was the true matriarch here. Robin was the last cat allowed outside. Everyone else is strictly indoor.
The poll I mentioned? Mom and I want to know if you kitties and your pawrents think girl cats tend to be more homebodies than boy cats..the territory thing I mean. Robin had a territory of three houses in either direction and she came home when called. We also want to know if you think girl cats have female personalities distinct from the boy cats personalities?
Inquiring minds want to know. Mom maintains that I am girly, Admiral was girly and Robin was girly but with a tough side too. Hopping John and every one of the boy cats were boyish.

Wiggle Wednesday
Kitties, I don't know what it's like to be still unless I am asleep. Just sayin'.
Did I tell you that last week I saw the long haired beautiful black kitty right outside my Bird TV station window? I never screamed or woke mom. She only knew because when she got up (I never went in to greet her as I always do) and got my breakfast ready, I did not come in to eat. She looked for me and found me staring out of the window and down at the black Angora-like kitty that I had a fit over last month.
When I heard mom come in, I DID start talking and made small meows and got a little bit agitated but not too much. Mom looked out and saw the kitty just looking up at me like "what is your PROBLEM!" So she just left us to it, and nothing happened I think mom was beyond relieved) and I came in to eat a good breakfast. Maybe there is hope. I haven't seen Ginger though. Now THAT would likely be different as he was aggressive toward me. But I did make a little progress.
Did you know I can smell a Party Mix treat all the way from the living room into the computer room? Mommy put four of them on my cat tree. Within a few minutes I came trotting in and went right to them.
Here I am looking out again at my sunpuddles and Birdie and Ebil Squerril TV's. And Mom not too far away with the water bottle if needed.

Tuxie Tuesday (and Tortie Tuesday for all the Torties out there) Tabby Tuesday too.
Kitties, Spitty asked me where I was and I appreciated that-- XXOO-- because I wasn't here for a few days where usually I am. I was finking that I was overloading all the kitties and woofies wif so many bloggies so I sat a few days out. But I did go around to see most of my furriends even so. Cause I loves to read about what you are doing.
A dear kitty furriend told me to try Science Diet fuds for Sensitive Skin. Mom bought the smallest bag she could find and she has been feeding it to me for over a week. I also had an allergy shot 2 weeks ago, a short acting one, so I have not horked but one monstrous hairball the day after my shots in 2 weeks. The shot should about be worn off now, so we will see if my new fuds are doing the trick and keeping me from so much itchies that I barber my pretty furs off. I will meow the results to efurrybuddy when I know fur certain. Other kitties and woofies itch too so maybe this is the very thing that will help. Claws crossed.
Biggafy to read if you need to. Mom took this at the river and provided the caption.
