Is anybody else insanely ticklish where their legs meet their torso? I didn't particularly warm up to cats when I was younger, mostly because they always stick their paws RIGHT in there.

I'll update you on the new fur monster soon! The first two days were pretty much this:

Who knew the back of my couch was hollow? Not me, until this week. He sure figured it out fast.

He later shifted to this: 

That's one front and one hind leg. He was still as a statue and held that for an hour.

Spoiler: things improved. More on that later. :)

Edited to add: I can't express to you how much I love - even with all its annoyances - Pip getting under the covers with me and purring himself to sleep like this.

Aww, little monster is in the everything is scary phase. Hopefully he adjusts soon and comes out. <3

Welcome, new fuzzy friend! 😍 One of my cats has the tiniest feet, so any place she stands is crazy painful. She seems to favor the kidneys. 😬

NJGR

So glad we only get burps and not the cat toots... Love that your newbie is getting 2/4 peets comfortable with the couch. 😁

NJGR

We call ours "Stabby Paws" for the same reason. Oof! She also loves to launch off my boobs, which is just not right...

dcorsetto

Jess Fink made a comic about Bear pressing his paws at the "epicenter of the tidday" and I can't get it out of my head every time Pip does this to me.

we have a tortie that sleeps under the covers with us. She has a procedure to make this happen. 1.) stand at the pillow/side table and mrr? 2.) paw the covers 3.) paw the human 4.) claw the covers 5.) claw the human 6.) headbutt the human at some point in there she starts to huff in annoyance. It's ADORABLE. It usually doesn't get to that point though, because falling asleep with a purring kitten cuddled into you is the BEST.

Katie McMahon

Ohh cats XD I feel like Pip would either be best friends with my goober cat Tribble, or they'd be rivals trying to out-mischief each other!

Hugh Eckert

Hope the new fur monster adapts soon... we have just acquired two kitties who are currently in quarantine until they get over their kennel cold. Our older cat is in denial. Our dog is Very Interested.

I miss my Gabey Baby, he would jump on me at all hours and just laze, then fuck off in a hurry just as abruptly

Amy Crook

I admit, I was very happy what was giving my Pod the SBD farts (it was parmesan cheese) and while he's still mad years later that he gets none, I am very happy that his cuddles are no longer toxic. XD So you have all my sympathies! My cats tend to stand right on my thigh muscles with The Weight of the Universe concentrated in their little feet. Ow. But the cuddling under the covers -- best cat love! I'm a little jealous of that part. ;)

Lesley Mitchell

Cat cuddles are best cuddles... even when they're a tad inconvenient! :-D

My cat has a special ability to seek out and step on my bladder. Bonus points if it’s at that point where I sort of could pee but don’t need to quite yet.

Maggie Brown-Bury

I'd like to know how they manage to apply about 3 tonnes of force right onto the boobs with just a single paw ...

Sarah Manx

YES. I am so ticklish there that I can actually tickle myself. 😅

Christian Brown

Cat toots are the worst...we changed ours to a different protein type with their food (chicken I think instead of fish) and the toots went away. I do not miss that part. Good luck getting the new baby acclimated. It took ours about 3 solid weeks of work to get them in the same room...now, it's mostly harmonious (except during first morning hangries).

Sheri Spangenberg

My Teddy boy is like that, haha. Likes to burrow under the covers, gives VIGOROUS biscuits, and then will snuggle up but brace all four paws against my chest/stomach while purring furiously. It's both adorable and annoying when i'm just trying to take a nap haha. Love him so much. I hope your new baby acclimates soon! Love the cat comics <3

dcorsetto

SAME, it's like an autonomous part of my body where I have no leal rights!

Monica Gallagher

That spot is the woooorst! Anytime a masseuse goes near it, I feel like I have to apologize for squealing.

dcorsetto

AAAAA why would a masseuse go near that spot?! Of course, I'm saying that as if EVERYONE is as ticklish as we are, but, aaaaaaa!!

Douglas Appelt

LOL! Your face in the Happy Farts pic is *chef's kiss*

Ruth Merriam

One of our boys is a biscuit making, fart producing, drooling idiot. His brother snuggles under covers but is currently on our shit list because he's been chewing up power cords this week like they're Twizzlers. Grrrrrrrr. That picture of Forrest's feet is adorable. You know, of course, that once Pip and Forrest start playing that they're going to be up inside your sofa and will drive you absolutely nuts.

Nancie

I have one cat who weighs nothing but has the tiniest feet and the best (worst) aim. Right on the tit, every time. She also has IBS, which produces a special kind of toxic fart!

dcorsetto

I doubled over reading this!! NO I DON'T!! ;)

dcorsetto

Luckily I think Pip's 15.5 pounds won't fit IN the couch, but somehow he does fit UNDER it and I didn't consider how often that might happen!

dcorsetto

This explains your green-faced avatar.

Chris Driggers

I’m so jealous. No cats in the house since Meg is allergic, and no dogs on the bed because I have to draw the line somewhere. I substituted a weighted blanket for that smothered feeling 🤣

Minzoku Bokumetsu

I had to get a weighted blanket for the same reason! Sadness, though: I'm already used to the weight ☹

ali love

I don't have a cat but I do have a 50lbs pibble who because of I kid you not, I had to get up and check the stove at 2am to make sure it was off her farts were so bad last night.

Cab

Adding insult to injury to insult to injury to

Lauren Sparks

Hahaaaa! I’ve got a gassy cat who loves to sit on my lap and purr while I work from home. And stink it up. 😆

Andy Ihnatko

Is Pip in charge of the onboarding process for the new kitty? Walking him through the paperwork for the health plan, giving him the "Yeah, these videos that Corporate makes us watch are all pretty lame! Ha ha!" talk...the first "random" drug test...

dcorsetto

Pip is the kind of HR worker who tells the new guy which rules are "really just guidelines" and what you can get away with, while the new guy sweats and nervously corrects him because he actually DID pay attention to the video...

Theadora

My sympathies on the loss of a pet.

Theadora

Has either of the cats discovered the hollow box springs? One of ours did; we put a fitted sheet on it upside-down to prevent expeditions up there.

Bruce Shipman

Oh, my - this reminds of the hilarious "Dear Kitten" commercials that Friskies did. If you haven't seen them, search for "Dear Kitten Friskies" on YouTube. They're wonderful.

dcorsetto

Haha oh my god that sounds like a fur-pinching nightmare!! Luckily my bedframe is the kind with drawers built into it, with no access to the boxspring!

NJGR

So my niece just texted me that her cat apparently gained a little weight and accidentally got stuck under the futon tonight, so at least Forrest isn't stuck. Yet.

dcorsetto

Hah!! He's eating his way there...
