Buttons is by far my friendliest cat. Friendliest cat I’ve ever known, in fact. Part of his friendliness is expressed in his sleep preference… right next to my head, purring like a machine. He’d sleep *on* my head if he though he could.
One of the more unusual things he does, though, is to sleep “hand in hand” with me. *Many’s* the time I’ve woken up to find him sleeping next to me with a paw outstretched, resting on my palm. Of course the circumstances of this are such that it doesn’t exactly lend itself to photography… as soon as I move he withdraws the paw. So that explains the craptacular quality of these cameraphone shots taken a few days ago.
I have n particularly good explanation for why he does that apart from “he does it because he wants to.”
