The Truth About Smooches


You would think with a face like this I would be smoochable - but
  • I avoid being picked up.
  • I don't like being cuddled.
  • I run away if you try and kiss me
  • I only let my mum kiss me on the head, and often I growl at her when she does it.
  • I only jump on her lap, and sit there about four times a week.
  • I do often sleep on the bed between her knees, but I wait til she is asleep before I jump up on the bed.

So mum has learnt to wait until I am very sleepy on her bed, and she sneaks in for a stealth snuggle, kiss or tummy rub. And she enjoys those special stolen moments, cause she knows I love her.

  2. Hehehe you sound like my big brother Harry - he does not like cuddles or kisses unless he thinks he will get food. I love cuddles and always put my head down for kisses - the two of us are complete opposites!

  5. When I feel like a kiss or a cuddle, I am the most determined smoocher in the world. When I'm not in the mood, I am a lot like you. Lishy is, too. He sometimes asks for head rubs, but he doesn't like smooches. Fui on the other hand is the sookiest boy who has ever lived.

  7. Poppy, it must be very hard for your mom to resist cuddling you all the time! I do not much like being picked up and held, but I spend many, many hours in Mommeh's lap every night.

  8. That's very interesting, Poppy! I confess that neither Sei-Chan nor I go in for cuddles with #1 much. She tends to get us "on the fly" so to speak. The real snuggle-bunnies around here are the boys... Yuu-Chan especially would cuddle all day if given half a chance!

    Purrs,

  9. Maybe it's a girl thing, Poppy, 'cause our Annie isn't big on smooches either, though she'll tolerate them. And she's definitely not a lap cat! We're glad your mum can steal a few smooches when you're sleepy, though. :-)

  11. Oh, what an adorable face. How can your mom resist?

  12. Oh, dear. And you look so cuddly! Mom forces me to snuggle. She grabs me when I'm not looking and sneaks in a few kisses. (I have never growled though).

  13. Poppy, this is not good! Mommy's need the snuggles and kisses and to hold you. You'd better start learning to like it.

  14. Oh, no!!! I had a feeling you were particular about such things. Stolen moments are better than none with such a smoochable looking face as yours.

  15. Oh, Poppy, with a smoochable face like yours, it must drive your mum crazy that you are so particular about these things!

  16. You sound like Lilly, but we know she is fiercely loyal to Mom and Dad, just like you are to your Mom.

  18. We're very much alike, Poppy. I'm not the cuddly, lap kitty type either, and if I do get on Mom's lap, she knows not to move or I'll leave. Even if she stays completely still I only stay for a minute or two.

  20. You should relax and let your Mommy love on you; kisses and cuddles feel good to both of you...It's a great stress reliever too and you're just too cute to resist Poppy!!...xo...Calle, Halle, Sukki

  22. Poppy, We run the gamut here; from lap lizards to "don't even LOOK at me" kitties. Our Mommy & Daddy love us all, just as much as your Mum loves you. We'll stick with giving you virtual smoochies!

  27. Oh, Poppy, you're missing out! I'd snuggle with Mishamummy all day long if she'd let me!

  28. Angel was a lot like that but is getting more snuggly every day! You need to try it, you might learn to like it!

  29. Poppy you are like me. I will take the affection on my terms.

  30. Poppy, We never would have known this to look at you. You look so soft and cuddly especially when you lay on your back and expose your beautiful belly! You are like our Fionna. She doesn't like being picked up or cuddled either. She's quite a diva just as you seem to be. :)
