When I’m down, my cat thinks he can fix me by lying on me and purring.

Aww Adorbs ❤️❤️

Aw sweet pussy. 😊

When I feel down my ginger cat sits on my lap and purrs until it falls asleep. 🙃

My older sister got a ginger tabby kitten last year. She’s a handful. The older cat doesn’t appreciate her energy.

Haha yeah cats don’t always know how to get along together!

I’ve heard that color can indicate their personality, like gingers are usually friendly and outgoing, tortoiseshells tend to be grumpy loners, etc. :)

He just turned 16 this month. He’s always needy and fussy. This was a rare moment that he wasn’t squawking at me.

Maybe I’m just too tired, but I don’t understand, 13ga.

sorry - i was poking fun at "he's" (males) being needy and fussy...

which i can get away with, cause i'm a guy... ;-)

tho i'm sure that wouldn't stop someone from accusing me of being sexist ( or reverse sexist - if that's even a thing? :) )

Your cat is beautiful and I agree they know when you need comfort. My mini dachshund was laying by the bathroom door yesterday while I was sick due to chemo. He has been my best friend every day during this regimen. Blessings to you and the days ahead

My dog is a mini longhaired dachshund. They’re good dogs.
