Why is my cat such a dick?

Especially when I am in bed with flu. Proper flu like I haven't had for decades, going into day 4 (even though I had my jab, thank god). So I feel like shite. And the ginger bastard seems determined to stop me from sleeping at all. The latch on our bedroom door is broken, but if I put something against the door to keep him out, he screams like he's being murdered until I let him in. Then he sits and stares at me while shoving every single item off of my dressing table.

He eventually snuggled on the bed. Great I thought. Until the very second I drop off to sleep (and I've barely slept because my temp has been so high and I've been tossing and turning) when he decides to slap me around the face. Every fucking time.

The only time he left me alone today he apparently tried to kill DH on the stairs.

I rescued him, he has massive fields around to do whatever he wants and on any other day he can barely be bothered to look in my direction. He has a million toys, a massive scratching gym thing that DH spent weeks on. But no, he choose to torment the life out of me when I'm poorly.

I love the very bones of him but god almighty he's a fucking knobhead.

Here’s mine, not in nurse mode 🐈. We’ve had a lot of snow and he’s been particularly naughty because he’s not been going out. The last photo is from Friday, and no, I don’t know either 🤷🏻‍♀️

Hes keeping you alive 😁 he loves you and is worried about why you're not up and about. So he creates mayhem and bops you in the face to keep you alert.

Final photo: He likes BIG BUNS and he can not lie... no other ginger testify...

Slaps you as he wants the old you back! And most definitely loves you.

He's hoping you'll die so he can eat you.
