- Timmy does this, too. Isn't it cute?

- In addition...when he's purring & rubbing his face on mine while standing
- on my shoulder, I'll gently grab the back of his neck, tuck his head, and
- sorta roll him down into my arms...cradled on his back like a baby...and
- continue the loving.

- One day, I was sitting at the counter with a friend. Timmy jumped to my
- shoulders from behind and before I knew what he was doing, tucked his head
- and rolled...but not into my arms...he bounced off the counter and landed
- with a thud on the floor. He just laid there for a few seconds, glaring
- up at me..."Mo-om, why didn't you catch me?"... then proceeded to take
- a bath in a very put out manner. I tried and tried not to, but I just
- couldn't help but laugh. My friend nearly fell out of her chair
- laughing...she'd never seen anything like it. Timmy was, of course,
- indignant that we laughed.
