When I’m feeling unwell (like today), my cat likes to curl up on my lap and administer the “cuddle cure”. But she’s also very impatient, so after 2–4 hours she decides I must be fully cured after all that, leaps up, and starts meowing at me to do all the jobs she’d been letting me slack on “while I was sick” 😂 It’s funny and cute, but at the same time, come on Gidget, let me rest!
