Our youngest kitten shimmies under the covers to goose my bottom in the middle of the night! Nothing like those little whiskers to spark that adrenaline rush.
The other kitten went through a phase of putting his nose into my face -- those short whiskers snuffling at my mouth tickled me awake. Then he'd lick my lips -- and *that* certainly got my attention!
Then there's the Old Lady -- she likes to lick my nose. I used to walk up to my ex and put my nose up for him to kiss. After he'd kiss it, I'd tell him, "It's clean! [cat name] washed it for you!" :D He didn't find that nearly as funny as I did...
My current crop of cats are not nearly as healing as my late, lamented Main Man cat. He'd curl up and sleep with me all night long, wrapped in my arms. If I lay down on the sofa, he'd run to jump in with me. On his last night with me, I stayed on the sofa so that we could be together. Poor old man, I think he lost control of his bladder that night, but he was so loving to me, so pleased to be near me. I miss that so much.
