Our snuggling time

The Look

Isn't it lovely? ;)

In the mood for some Lickings...

Kiebie has shown a lot more affection these months. He jumps to my laps to take a nap while I am in front of the computer. He comes to kneading all over me while I am watching TV - then he falls asleep on me. He comes to the bedroom at night - he has a special spot and he knows when I am about to go to bed so he gets himself ready. He even comes to bed somewhere during the night - VERY cozy to wake up to both of them!

So this was one of the days he decided to let me wake up to him. He stays closer to my head than Tuntun usually does. My theory is always that he comes to the bed early in the morning so I've had already past that "deep sleep might hit or snore or grind my teeth" period so he'd be safe. :P And this day, he was in the mood for some Lickings... OH YEAH.

It's cute, really, to be licked by your loved one.. :P But hey, love hurts sometimes - esp with that kitty's tongue. So I decided to dodge .. not very successfully until this big guy came along! And that shifted lovely Kiebie's attention - demand and supply, match in heaven!

Think KB's satisfied? ;)

The keyword : Demand!

This is the "Meow" from my lovely Tuntun. Oh well, only try to imagine this - when he wants to go to the backyard, he can do this for.. awhile. Try to time the volume 5x, and amount 10x... you get the picture.. ;)

我有一坨貓

是“坨“這個字嗎？基本上我要說的是“一團“、“一拖拉古“。嗯, 好像越說越複雜。

記得當時年紀小（好啦，當然是指 KB）, KB 剛進家門時也勉強算是“膝上貓（lap cat）“總是非常乖巧的在我胸口、膝上、或我身旁打盹。當時他的別稱還是“purr purr 王子"，因為只要他在我身旁醒來就像個 purring 發電機，超大聲而且從不打烊。曾幾何時一向黏吧達的KB突然長大了。變身酷酷小子之後就鮮少在吃飯以外的時間出現在媽媽身旁：KB 聰明，他知道玩具都是假的，瞄個兩眼之後這樣所謂的玩具就再也無法吸引他的目光，留在現場賣力揮舞著假老鼠或假釣魚竿的我通常只能尷尬的唱著獨腳戲，悻悻然的收起這些不受歡迎的玩意兒；之後 KB 發現了後院的有趣，除了一有機會就到後院翻上翻下，其餘的時間就算不出去也是目不轉睛的盯著，當然這包括睡覺時間，所以媽咪的床再也沒有小 KB 的蹤跡。唉。

這樣的冷漠，其實在貓族裡也還算正常。只是當有另一個小朋友作比較之時，總覺得有天壤之別。

這樣說吧，糖糖可能從沒有長大。打從第一天起這個傻大個就是個跟屁蟲，走到哪跟到哪不說，每天晚上更是準時在床上報到，起床後只要對糖糖看上一眼，還不用摸他自各兒就已經開始呼嚕呼嚕個沒完沒了。當然這也就更彰顯了 KB 與我們淡如水的關係。

今年以來這樣的關係開始有了轉變。KB 開始越來越“黏人“。

當今每天早上的早自習是，我坐在電腦前看著 emails，news 而 KB 會走來喵喵兩聲，我將座位拉開，KB 估良好距離，躍上我的膝頭，母子倆上演一段非限制級的親親摸摸抱抱抓抓兼呼嚕呼嚕，然後 KB 會心滿意足在我腿頭睡將下來。化身。一。坨。貓。。嗯。。。


我仍思量，到底是什麼樣的原因醞釀出 KB 如此的轉變。可能源于我一直以來從不間斷的熱情堅持（或說騷擾），我總是愛將 KB 抱入懷中，強制執行我們的“愛的抱抱“，剛開始只要我一放手 KB 幾乎是迫不及待的逃離現場；如今彷彿熟知這般的戲碼，KB 可以慢慢的接受這屬於媽媽專有的熱情近而陶醉其中。或者是受到糖糖的熏陶，KB 也開始體會到“家庭溫暖“的重要性。又或者 KB 意識到糖糖的競爭性，知道媽媽的愛可能也需要努力才會擁有。當然，KB 可能只是年紀到了。。。

不管是什麼原因，就算我永遠也無法知道，我仍是非常感激我的這“坨“貓！

Being trusted

I had a crappy day. Apprehension is building up. Until..

While KB's sleeping at his normal position - in between me and the computer monitor, I scratched his head. In return, he leaned and put his head against my hand - not just touching, but put the whole weight of his head in me. I felt really really.. trusted. I know how much KB gets intimidated by strangers, unusual objects, or different sounds. His being able to trust me really means a lot to me.

I had to "record" this feeling, so I pulled my hand back. But I know we have that for each other, still.
