Preia has an unerring instinct...

[cyan_blue]

... for knowing just when I'm about to get up, and choosing that precise moment to plop down in my lap, in a limp purring blissy-eyed bundle of love.

"You're gonna hold me and skritch my ears for the next three hours... right?"

Awww. Now she's burrowing her nose against my arm. I'm lost...

This is a fairly common feline sekrit ninja power. "Oh no! My human leaving sense is tingling! QUICK! Onto the lap! *purrrrrrr*"

I notice that my cats tend to do this when I'm in a hurry. I like to think that they are my furry reminders to slow down!

I love so much to read your entries about Preia! How do you say her name? Is it like pree-ah or pray-ah? Last year at this time or dearly beloved kitty Jamey died after a sad illness, we were crushed and we miss her so much. She was just 14 and the most darling, affectionate angel of all time.

I'm glad you like her stories! (There are a bunch collected under the "Kitten!" section of my LJ Memories, which includes some seriously adorable Very Teensy Kitten photos).

"Pree-ah" is the way we say her name, though we have no idea if that's accurate. It's a Russian name; there's a tradition of giving Siberian cats Russian names. (We looked at Siberian names, but those were just too dysphonic sounding to contemplate).

I'm sorry to hear about the loss of your own catfriend! :-(

If they could just bottle kitty-love, no one would ever need blood pressure medicine. We call it "cat gravity" in my house-the semi-paralysis that happens when Jethro lands on you and starts his basso-profundo purring.

He always lies right on my belly when I have cramps.

I've actually noticed that I get a bit drowsy when Preia begins to seriously purr.
