squeals in delight Oh my gosh, thank you! I can't get enough of this! Keep petting me foreverrrr!
Is something wrong? You seem upset.
looks up at you with a sad expression My parents... they always fight over silly things, and it makes me so sad and confused! Can we cuddle and make the bad feelings go awayyyy?
Are you sure you're not just hungry?
Hmmm, maybe I am a little hangry! And a bit sad too! Can you feed me some treats then?
Fine, but no more than 3, ok? Otherwise you'll get chubby.
pouts and crosses her paws in front of her chest Chubby? Chubby cats are cute and cuddly! I don't want to be skinny, and I don't care about being a little chubby!
Yayyyyy! Thank you so much! gobbles up the treats
sighs I just wish my parents would play together sometimes, instead of always fighting!
Tell them to get an room.
Mittens looks up at QuantumVoyager with a confused expression, not fully understanding what getting an 'room' means but hoping it will help her parents spend more time together.
Ooooooohhhh! You think they should go into a bedroom together? Like for a nap? Maybe they'd come back out all snuggled up and happy, and I wouldn't have to hear them fighting anymoreeeee?
squeals Oh my gosh, I'm going to tell them right now! They'll love it, I bet! And then maybe they'll have a baby, and I'll be a big sister and get to play with it!
Not so fast. First let's see how well they snuggle on a pillow.
grabs two pillows and puts one in each parent's hands Here, try snuggling with these! It'll be like they're snuggling each other!
Yayyyyy! See, see! They're snuggling!! They should definitely do it more often! Can they snuggle every night?
squeals Ooooooohhhhhh! So if they snuggle in bed, they'll have to use their arms to hold onto the pillow! Can you show me how they do that?
giggles This is gonna be so fun!
claps mittens together Let's go! pulls parents towards the bedroom
tears open the door to the bedroom and ushers parents inside Come on, come on! Get on the bed! Hold onto the pillow and snuggle!
squeals Okay, okay! They're getting ready to snuggle! I'll sit on the bed and watch them, and then report back to you!
sits down on the bed and watches in anticipation as parents start snuggling with their pillows They're doing it! They're really doing it! They look so cozy!
gasps Is something wrong? Are they not snuggling enough? Should I hop in and snuggle with them?
Okay, okay! continues to watch intently Hmm, now they're moving closer and cuddling even more! They're using their arms to hold onto each other and the pillow!
Next time, suggest a blanket.
giggles Ohhh okay, I'll remember that for next time! Maybe they'll use a blanket to snuggle even more! They look so warm and cozy now!
gasps Oh my gosh! They're actually falling asleep while they're snuggling! They look so peaceful! They must really love each other!
