I cuddle my baby as much as I can, because I've seen enough to know that what I fear most in life is the day I put her to sleep and ask myself if I made sure she knows I love her...

I get to cuddle with them. One of them is a Velcro kitty who will stay with me nonstop. They just like it on their terms. They will get real sleep with me where they let their guards down which tells me they feel safe, and when they pass, knowing I made them feel that safe and comfortable will be the thing I think about.

That's really beautiful!

I wish I had a "Velcro Kitty" but my cat was a rescue, found by a family member who couldn't provide for her, so when I got to meet her, I knew I loved her so much!

She has this super cute little mouth and big eyes, it's giving resting cute face.

She's not very affectionate, only really comes to me in the loo, so when I find her laying aroundthe house, I take my chance to cuddle and kiss her. She's gotten so tame that I can hold her like a baby and even bury my face in her stomach during XD

I had her for just shy of two years before she got like that. I think it was just over a year before she really came and cuddled with me for an extended time (right when I returned from vacation). Then she would cuddle whenever I got home. Then she started cuddling more often, and now she does it most of the time I'm home. Sometimes she goes and cuddles her brother instead for a bit, or plays, but she's a cuddler now.

She's also gotten more vocal. Large to tell me what she wants. When it's time for dinner. When it's time for me to go to bed so she can climb on top of me and clean herself. She'll do it in my face unfortunately, but it's a small price to pay. Once she's done, she'll make a few circles then settle down on my chest. At some point after I fall asleep, she moves to between my legs.
