1. Or...

you could risk the deadly "cat snub" and shove him off your arm.

2. But he'll just come right back!

This cat doesn't take no for an answer!

Besides, Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) once cut his sleeve off so as not to disturb his sleeping cat. A good example to follow. (Can I use this as an excuse to get out of taking the MPRE tomorrow morning?)

4. Muhammad was a sissy

if he'd cut off his ARM, then you might have something.

I know your pain. I have three stubborn cats. But I draw the line at gangrene or bladder explosion.

3. 9 Chickweed Lane

had a skeleton's legs in the first panel and the skeleton's hand gripping the door handle with cobwebs all over and the CAT trying to decide if it wanted to go out the door or not. Wish I would have photocopied the cartoon, it was great. Damn cats, why do we put up with them. Love cats, love dogs, love horses, ... people are difficult to love.

7. You think that's bad

I often wake up nearly paralyzed in the morning because I sleep in odd positions all night so as not to disturb the cat.

8. I can relate!

My husband won't let the cats sleep with us because he doesn't want hair on the pillows, but we do take naps with them in the guest bedroom (because we never have guests). They love to lie on my feet and in the bend of my legs (I sleep on my side), and I can barely move when I try to get up! They love it, though, and so do I!

9. It has been scientifically proven that the weight of sleeping cats is...

exponentially greater than non-sleeping cats. Same is true of sleeping dachshunds. Scientists have not yet determined the cause of this phenomenon.

I myself have measured this phenomenon, and can attest to its veracity. My cat usually weighs about 8-9 pounds. Curled-up on the bed, he weighs approximately 149.7 pounds.

10. Jesus! What have you got? A tiger?

Might I suggest cutting back on the kitty chow.

11. Of primary concern is the cat's comfort

All other concerns are secondary.

Just accept your place as the feline's feeder/playpal/groomer/pillow.

Its so much easier that way.
