We call that the "baby hold", and our cat hates it more than anything. He also does that with his tail to protect his butthole from inspection/wiping after a failed poop. I don't know why we put up with him.
I was extremely lucky that almost all cats that let me pick them up have let me baby hold them. I think they know I'm slow and love holding cats like babies! If they could sigh all but one would have!
As soon as you leave for work this guy opens a secret door and to his super villain lair.
Him: (after going down on me) you're so beautiful, babe
Me:
It's just what happens when Whis wakes him up early from his nap.
Sleep with one eye open. That cat will have its revenge.
why dont they let us love them
Watch out OP. I think you’ve just been hexed.
Going to the doctor does this to me too, kitty.
