Sick boy and the drooler.
That's Mark, he even looks pathetically sick doesn't he?
He's just wiped out and super tired. His fever has gone down some, but he's sniffling, coughing, cranky.
And the cat there is Nova, or as I've taken to calling her today, the drooler.
She sleeps on my bed with me, up near my head, and last night she placed her whole head in my hand to go to sleep.
She was purring away, happy as can be, and then she fell asleep.
And that's when she started drooling.
In my hand.
I was all 'eww'', and pulled my hand out from under her head.
Then I did the only logical thing I could think of at 3am.
I wiped her drool back onto her fat sleeping body.
I never realized she drooled when she sleeps, but now it makes total sense why the other 2 cats will not sleep at the head of my bed.
They will come up there, but they start sniffing the sheets and pillows, and go right back down to the foot of my bed.
They smell her cat drool.
Her sleepy, stinky, unconscious, cat drool on my bed.

Heh, it sounds like Nova has figured out a way to keep half of the bed to herself!

Hahaha! This made me laugh SO hard. One of our cats is a MAJOR drooler. And not just when she is sleeping either. She will just be sitting there, all cat like..and there will be a small puddle under her face.
It is quite gross. I had asked the vet what her malfunction was, but she didn't find anything wrong. She is just a happy, comfy, very lazy slouch of a cat I guess.
LOL
