… you can tell because everyone’s huddled up to stay warm.
Tom really isn’t much of a snuggler — he’s getting the hang of it when I’m involved, but he’s still not really comfortable curling up with the other cats. Fortunately he is Well Padded & doesn’t have any trouble staying warm.
Hades & Loiosh, on the other hand, are skinnier, older, & without shame.

I sit down, boom, at least one & often both of em are on me.
I’m pretty sure Loiosh was asleep with his eyes open here.

Which is cool cos he let me get extra closeups without getting all cranky.

Here’s Loiosh in his favourite spot in the world, complete with hug. It’s hard to sew this way but I can still read.

Sometimes, though, I just gotta snuggle my boy.
This was posted originally to my Patreon, a little over a week ago.
If you want to see these posts sooner, & not incidentally help support me & my cats in our travels & such, the way to do that is to sign up as one of my Patrons for as little as a buck a month.
I’d REALLY like that.
