matthew is a cuddlebun. he likes to pretend he's too cool for loving, and runs away, but if i pick him up he settles down for a good half hour or so of snuggles. tabby was just beginning to accept a cuddle in arms (she's 2 1/2) - though she will be still for an hour's shoulder rub if her feet are on firm ground - when i took her for the spay and now she must think i'm an awful mummy who takes her out every day to be tortured. wednesday, spay. thursday, injection. friday, thermometer where the sun don't shine. poor tabby rabbit.
