Just curious. If we're sharing the bed and I roll to not face her, my cat yells and marches over in front of whatever side I'm now facing and if there's not enough room, that's a problem for me to fix.

Just curious if this is standard cat behaviour or another adorably needy quirk of mine?

My 20-year-old baby girl insisted I face her as well. She would paw at the back of my head until I rolled over or moved her in front of me. She only started doing that over the past two years or so, but for about five years she would paw at me to lift the covers so she could snuggle under them or to hold her in my arms.

I had to put her to sleep just over two weeks ago on October 5. I miss her waking me up all the time for snuggles. I would trade every night of solid sleep in the world to have her with me still.

Big hugs, sounds like she was sweet

Thank you <3

She was the best! My soul pet. I had her for over half my life since she was 4 months old. We had a great life together and I’m so grateful for that, even though losing her leaves a gaping hole in my heart.
