I really liked number 22. Just for the pure ludicrousness of the answer.

I feel like I was slightly screwed over yesterday by T. He did a lot of talking, which is not good and I did a lot of non-listening. I think there was a point he was making which was need to stick to agreements about invoices and some things are my doing like cancelling. But I think things are settled now with the new scheduling we worked out but I still feel screwed over....

Ok Now I feel like a cow! I have just realised that my T must have spent a good deal of time thinking about how to help me with my financial vs need for sessions problem. He really put some effort into this and he didn't have to. Do you think I should acknowledge this? I feel I should,

They were too young to know they were supposed to hate it so they all let me do it even now that they are full grown.
omg, that's so funny. i treated my kitten like a puppy and manhandled him all the time. now that he's grown, i can basically do what i want with him and he's all like 'I LOVE THIS' (sort of, you know, he's still a cat)

So, t and I talked about reducing my sessions to every other week.. I have been seeing him weekly for 3 1/2 years. It's all up to me. We both agree that in would function just fine reducing.. But it's so hard to make the leap! I think maybe because it's is the first step to terminating, even if it still a long time away.

In the spirit of things, I just picked up the junior (okay, only) cat and blew a raspberry on his belly. The look of surprise on his face was priceless.

He was unharmed, but is now avoiding me a bit.

So like are your lips all fuzzy now? Maybe the couch will start a new lipstick trend. Instead of matte or shine or glitter, people will sport furry lips.

I am still agog (from almost 40 years ago). Where is SD's spray bottle? I will share it with any cat who asks.
Thanks for this!

Seriously your lips don't get fuzzy. It is not like you smear chapstick or something sticky on your lips before doing it.

I once nibbled friend's cat's ear and the cat freaked out. I said "wow. Your cat acts like no one has ever bitten his ear." My friend said she did not even know how to respond to that. I think each of us thought the other one was weird.
Thanks for this!

I seriously don't even know how it comes up that a cat's ear would be a desirable object to satisfy one's nibbling urges. I don't think I have nibbling urges in general and certainly no cat parts specific ones.
I have once or twice nuzzled their heads if they were butting me while in my lap, and I had one cat who loved to suck on clothing- but no nibbling or nomming has occurred.
