Toe bean time…the fuzzy goober is once again snuggled next to me…this time her hind legs and feet are the touch points making sure I don’t go anywhere 🥹 and I wld like to note that I have barely 8 inches of the seat available for my butt…Hettie has unapologetically taken over the rest of the space 🤣
Small dark grey and white kitty is laying on her side on a beige sofa. Her hind legs and feet are resting on her hoom’s thigh.

Santa Paws arrived a bit early for Hettie. She’s been a very good kitty these past couple of months since the cat distribution network brought her here, plus Santa wanted her to enjoy her prezzies as she has to go for a fairly major medical procedure in a few weeks. It has risks soooo… 🥺🐾🐾💜
Small grey and white kitty is reclining on a cat-sized oval couch. The couch has beige carpeted sides and back, and the seat is patterned loop carpet - perfect for scratching. There is a round red plastic scratch toy next to the couch. It has an embedded ball for chasing around a track and cardboard scratching surface in the centre. An orange and white feathered toy is on top of the ball track.

Look at those spectacular whiskers. Hettie has a very old soul and seems to look right into mine with those golden eyes.

My bebes. Molecule the tuxie loved to supervise when I was creating. OTRB 1yr ago age 19. Fibonacci the white will-o-the-wisp wld sit upright like a wee hooman. She left 3yrs ago suddenly at 17. These 2 were sibling elderly rescues. The orange tabby Spikie - my 21 yr companion said goodbye in 2010.

A cabinet filled with china is in the background and a dual monitor computer set up is to the side of the photo. A furry pure white kitty (Fibonacci) is seated in an antique paisley patterned high back chair. She is upright on her butt with her legs out in front and her tail curled to her side. A stuffed fox and a pillow embroidered with snowflakes are beside her. A knitted throw is behind draped across the back of the chair. The throw is white with blue cats. A grumpy looking orange tabby (Spikie girl) is laying in a brown high-sided cushioned round cat bed, with her front paw on the edge of the bed and her chin resting on her paw. cream coloured sheers and the edge of a window are visible in the background

Another big win…Hettie slowly wiggled and slid her way across the blanket to finally gently rest her paw on my big toe. She’s been laying like this for about an hour now and I really need to pee but don’t want to disturb her🥹😻🐾🐾💜

Third day in a row this bebe has been snuggled up fast asleep on the sofa near me.…like to think it’s cause she’s finally feeling safe and at home with me…although I suspect it’s more due to my slipping her a few morsels of warm cooked chicken from my dinner 🤣

Squeee.… Hettie just came over on her own and asked to come up on the couch. Made a little grumbly throat noise and looked at the couch where my feet were. I moved them and she jumped right up. She’s now laying curled up by my feet grooming. 😻Progress!!
