My cat thinks he is a baby

So this adorable kitty thinks he is a baby - he just curls in my arm, laying on his back - cradled like an infant. And of course he stretches and rubs his little face and melts my heart. We have barely had him 2 months but he seems pretty much at home

has that alluring soft white belly - that you just want to stroke even though you know its dangerous. So far no hand attacks when I touch it, but I try to be furtive.

When he caught 3 mice this weekend and put each one of them in my bedroom. Though, some say that is just saying he wants me to learn how to hunt.

a small pile of cat treats appears next to each mouse. I am the 'mouse fairy'.

...visual ability thing going one. You know - the one where they can see the invisible tattoo that only they can see that says either "Softie" or "Suckerrrrrr."

I know I have such an identifier on my forehead.

He looks irresistible (and he knows it, I'll bet).

tatooed across my forehead. I've got three I've rescued. One 17 years old and two three year olds. Wouldn't have it any other way.

We have had 4 dogs and 2 cats in our 20 yrs together - all rescued. They have all been the sweetest most loving companions! But they know we are powerless to resist.

First fell in love with a kitten when I was 5.

We have 4 now, and have had as many as 5.

I just wrote down all the names I could remember, and if I did I not leave anyone out, there have been 22 cats who have left their foot prints on my heart over the years.

My tattoo must be in upper case letters.

I love cat bellies. Only one of my three does the Venus Cat Trap maneuver where she rolls on her back, inviting you to stroke that lovely furry tummy, and then she grabs your hand and snarls evilly. The other two are happy to be petted anywhere and anyhow.

I can't tell you how many times I have lovingly held him while he slept like that, gritting it through a full bladder, enduring a painfully numb arm, forgoing even food and drink rather than disturb Jack's nap.

He has a really fancy mustache and beard great cats but I am a sucker for all cats.

My feral Mama cat took 2 years before I could pet her now after 7 years she actually purrs something I never heard prior.
