things i love, and miss: boyfriend kitten

Sometimes my cat Gaara would arrange himself on my bed, right in between the stuffed animals, like this:


It always kind of reminded me of that scene in E.T. ....


...but for some reason, I always called him "boyfriend kitten" when he did it. It sort of felt like he was warming up a spot for me and waiting for me to come to bed LOLOL.

I say all this past tense, because since Teeny the chihuahua has been here, I think I've only seen it once. Teeny humps my stuffed animals, so most of them have been relocated to high ground....plus Teeny seems to think that once I jump into bed it's party time, and goes all crazypants....totally scaring off the relaxed and sultry kitteh.
