The other night Ozzy puppy needed a potty break…at 2:30 in the morning.
When Kiefer returned to bed, he found Esme curled up with me. Half on my pillow, half on my head. She’s like a cat hat. She keeps my head warm so I don’t catch a cold.
This seat isn’t as comfy as your head, but…it’ll do.
Kiefer: Oh come on….
Esme used to sleep with me every night. Once I moved in with Kiefer, she started sleeping under the bed, which is sad.
Three months of kittyless sleep…. No way was I moving Esme off the bed.
Begrudgingly, Kiefer crawled into bed. Esme didn’t budge.
Kiefer moved a couple inches closer to Esme and I. Esme moved off of my head and moved to the far side of the pillow.
Kiefer inched ever closer. Esme jumped off the bed and returned to her usual spot beneath the bed.
Thoughtsy: Heeeeey…you did that on purpose!
Kiefer: Did not! Ok, maybe just a little.
Thoughtsy: Meanie….
That morning Kiefer had off work. When he called me while I was at work to rub it in that he was still lounging in bed, Esme made her move.
Kiefer: So how’s work….whoa! Esme just jumped up on the bed. Holy crap, she’s just staring at me. Now she’s walking towards me. She’s going to claw my eyes out!
Thoughtsy: Serves you right for kicking her out of bed.
Kiefer: Oh my god, she’s sitting on my chest! She’s going to kill me!
Thoughtsy: She’s not going to kill you…I just clipped her claws. She’ll only maim.
Kiefer: I just moved and she jumped off my chest. What the…. Now she’s curled up in my armpit…and she’s purring.
Thoughtsy: Awww…she loves you.

Be strong, Kiefer! Don’t give in to the cat – it’s a plot! An cute, fuzzy, evil plot!!!
September 24th, 2012 at 7:33 am
I like it!
PS Tell me you know about the kitty-taco? My ex had a cat that used to love to sleep between your legs on top of the covers… until you rolled over and taco’ed him up!

That’s where Esme starts: inbetween my legs. Once I start to move, she’s smart enough to move to the head or neck region.

Puppy and kitty love, a blessed household. Arm pit warmers are the best, people feel out if they get a noogy (rubbing their heads against your armpits) animals are wierd, they like it!

Oh man, she is playing dirty. Waiting until you aren’t there and killing him with love. She is one cold and heartless nemesis. Beware, Keifer. Beware!

Any day now Esme’s going to convince Kiefer to give up the coffee table. It’s just a matter of time.
September 25th, 2012 at 7:29 am
That would be a miracle.

She isn’t stupid, she is biding her time. She’ll get him later when no one is around to witness it and his guard it down.

I’m sorry… sleeping with a purring kitty up against you is the best. I hope he learns that soon. #FamilyHarmony

So true. I was late to work this morning because I was enjoying some kitty time.
September 24th, 2012 at 9:28 am
You should keep your eye on her… you DID say she was kind of slutty, and she IS kind of making moves on your man while you’re at work.
Or she’s buttering him up for the kill. Either way- pay attention.
September 25th, 2012 at 7:41 am
She is a little slutty…o…m…g…she’s a traitor!
September 24th, 2012 at 9:44 am
Awe, he won her over without even trying…perhaps Esme is jealous of his relationship with the puppy.
September 25th, 2012 at 7:46 am
I’m pretty sure that’s it. Spot on!
September 24th, 2012 at 1:11 pm
I used to hate it when my kitty slept with me. I inhaled cat fur all night long. Gah!
September 25th, 2012 at 7:46 am
But it’s cat fur from love!
September 24th, 2012 at 2:12 pm
She worked him over good. Silly Keifer, cats always get their way.
September 24th, 2012 at 2:14 pm
Wow, she is gooood.
September 24th, 2012 at 2:30 pm
Esme’s out to get you Kiefer – don’t be fooled by purring, she probably realised her nails weren’t sharp enough yet!

Haa I’m a sucker for a cat-with-seemingly-human-emotions story.
September 24th, 2012 at 3:51 pm
Maybe she thinks it is enough that Kiefer knows she could have killed him.
September 24th, 2012 at 7:20 pm
He is going to be a cat person before you know it.
September 24th, 2012 at 8:27 pm
This is so cute. I loveee kitty cuddles. I would have kicked the man out of the bed to ensure kitty comfort 3 months ago!
September 24th, 2012 at 10:07 pm
I think that sez more about the quality of Kiefer’s armpit….
September 25th, 2012 at 7:24 am
Aww, I love kitty sleeps. My cat lets me spoon her!
Esme looks beautifully sassy
September 25th, 2012 at 7:36 am
She will win him over yet! Who doesn’t love a warm, snuggly kitty during sleeptime?
September 25th, 2012 at 6:25 pm
Kiefer is right to fear Esme. I’ve always said I’d be more afraid in a room full of cats than a room full of Rottweilers.
September 26th, 2012 at 1:39 am
Aren’t pets fun? They know when you’re tired and when you need to be awoken. Esme’s a smart cookie!

This is so similar to how the husband and my first cat fell in love. She resented him because he was our third wheel, but now they have a special relationship when I’m not around that doesn’t concern me. Glad we have a second cat now so everyone in the house gets love and no one is left out.
