Fizban has always been a daddy's girl, but from a distance. If I picked her up she'd lay in my arms, enjoying the belly rub, but was just as happy to get back down again. She used to jump up in my lap at night when I finally settled down to watch a little TV. Just for 5-10 minutes and then she was off doing cat stuff.
Now, she's on my lap, rubbing against my legs, sitting in front of or on my computer, and generally stays with me all day long. She jumps on my lap and I have to make her get off in order to stand up. The only place she doesn't follow me is into bed. She even follows me into the bathroom to watch me brush my teeth, shower, and shave.
Storm, who I rarely see during the day, sleeps at the foot of my bed every night. He gives an impatient meow when I climb the stairs and settles into the bed, purring contentedly, while I undress.
And Buddy? If I get up during the night he'll shadow me into the kitchen hoping for a small bowl of milk on the floor for him. Otherwise, he flees as if the hounds of hell were at his heels any time he sees me walking in his direction.
