I had no idea that Nikki was so innocent!
When cats purr, their whole bodies vibrate. My Little Cat goes to bed before I do, then waits until I get into bed when she climbs onto my chest and starts purring -- and trying to get under or over my book so that she can lick my nose. I have to pet her to keep her from interfering with my reading. That's all I meant! Nothing naughty.
I guess we better email you a cat, so you can try it out. It's one of the better feelings in the world.
In fact, for a long time, when I had trouble sleeping, my Big Cat would come and snuggle up to me, then purr very loudly until I went to sleep. If I woke in the middle of the night, he'd give this huge sigh, then come snuggle up again to purr me back to sleep. Better than any other sleep aid I've ever tried.
Makes me very sad that he's getting old and has so much trouble getting up on the bed now. I keep putting boxes near the bed, but he can't figure those out. I'm thinking I have to build a set of steps for him...
