Omg, I can’t stop giggling. If I didn’t know better I would have sworn that kitty was my Tricks. She acts just like that. LOL. She came to live with us from the shelter after Ben, who acted like that too, passed on.

Thanks for a great “start over” to my day.

If my Bitsy weren’t so afraid of the outside, and if she wore a collar, I would think that kitty was her. She climbs me all the time, especially when I’m reading, typing, or knitting. She’s 12 years old, but only 6 pounds, about the size of the cat on the video. At least she doesn’t climb from the floor, but there have been times when I’ve had long red scratches on my decolletage.

Wow – that’s an incredibly patient guy. I hope he wasn’t allergic!

Did the cop take kitty home with him? I wonder.

Years ago, my husband was taking something to a family that lived near the Gulf coast and spoke to a few people there when a kitten, an orange tabby, approached him and had his way with him – marking, purring, you name it. I found about the kitty when I saw his head popping out of my husband’s right side when he finally arrived home from that errand in his old pickup truck.

That’s our Morris.

He still pretends to be my husband’s good-night teddy bear – and has even kept watch over my daughters’ sleep many nights. (And yes, we fight over my pillow sometimes.)

Yeah, just try to maintain your dignity and authority as a cop with a kitten climbing on you!

Not easy! But this good cop managed it by being patient with the friendly little thing.

What a hilarious video.
