Reply #6: mine will tap me on the face if I lie down on my side when I

[yellowdogintexas]

first go to bed, until I roll over on my back (my normal go to sleep position). Then he gets on my chest and purrs profoundly ...a deep bass purr... and as long as I am touching him he is happy. If I stop touching him, he taps my face again until I pet him or stroke him in some way.

Now this is the cat who for years only slept on the foot of the bed most nights.

one of my other cats always wants to be on me to sleep, so I think the older cat is asserting his place as senior cat. If he is on me first, then the younger cat is quite content to lie by my side. They are crazy little critters, gotta love'em
