Cat Nap

My cat doesn't want me
to hold him at night anymore,
when we sleep.

I am getting insecure. lol.

He creeps up and sniffs my face.
then curls on his side to sleep next to me.
And usually I put my arm around him,
or pet him till I or he falls asleep

Nowadays, if i so much
as put a finger on him,
first he tries to push my hand off
with his back legs, and if that don't work,
he gets up and moves to the foot of the bed in a huff.

And if he is really annoyed,
he just jumps off the bed
and goes and sleeps on the couch. =(

Oh, but when it gets nearer to dawn,
he comes creeping back
and starts to squeeze himself between my arms,
or wrap himself around my head
or lays on my stomach, or side, or back
(depending on how I'm laying)
or just try to sleep as close to me as he can.

Why are cats like that eh?
When you need someone to hold on too,
to cuddle, to help you sleep,
they don't wanna go anywhere near you.
But when you are sleeping,
thats when they start to disturb you
and try to squeeze out every ounce of patience in you.
