cowlick – noun – cow·lick ˈkau̇-ˌlik : a lock or tuft of hair growing in a different direction from the rest of the hair
Louie sleeps on husband’s side of the bed. Usually at this feet, but sometimes, adorably snuggled up by his arms. So when I get up in the morning, I walk past husband’s side of the bed and therefore Louie. I give him a little pet on my way to the bathroom to get ready for work or brush my teeth or whatever.
The other day, he looks up at me for his acknowledgement and he has a cowlick. Not too weird — I mean he does get his tail wet in the water fountain all the time. But it was kinda stiff. So I was like WTF did you get into?
Then I remembered that, the night prior, Louie had given me top tier snugs (AKA snuggles or cuddles). It’s been cold and we only have the heat on 65 degrees (F). So Louie has been colder and more likely to snuggle. And when he DOES choose to let you snuggle him, he’s a magnificent teddy bear. And the night before he had curled up against my chest, with my arm around him, and even tucked his little head in tight beneath my chin. And he feel asleep! THE CUTENESS!
Do you see where this is going?
Yeah, I drooled on my cat.
I mean, to be fair I drool on my husband too. I’m sorry, Louie!
