It's these unique memories that become extra sad once your pet passes. This probably won't happen with another cat, so you will forever remember this as one of the defining things they did forever.

My old cat Benji was the sweetest boy. We had him for his nine last years before he died at almost 17.
One of the things he'd do was sit on my chest, purring like a lunatic at bedtime. I'd read my book while he got as close to my face as he could, damn near drooling he was so happy. We called that Belly Time, and it was a genuine high point of my day.
We've had our current cats for two years, and neither of them have any interest in doing that. It's been four years since we lost Benji, but I still miss it almost every night.
Yeah me and my sweet toothless bob tail boy would lay on the floor in the living room and he would roll over on his back for belly pets while my wife and I watched TV. He was the sweetest boy to our other cat too.
You learn weird things about your cats when sitting on the toilet.
lol right? There’s only one way this was discovered. Source: My cat and my pooping habits.
my mind went a completely different way.
True dedication
Marsupial play
My dog likes to lick me when I’m on the toilet. He doesn’t lick me in other circumstances.
are we not doing phrasing anymore?
This is an allegory.
Well now that's just lovely.
Just wait till that little guy sneaks into the bathroom…
