What rituals do you & your cats have?

Patrick mentioned one that reminded me of one of Daisy's. When she's ready to come to bed, I have to hold the covers up for her. She walks in under the covers, stands there for a few moments, thinking about several things, then turns around & comes back out & settles on my head. And I MUST be lying on my side, w/my body pillow in front of me, when we do this. If I'm lying on my back, she won't walk under the covers.

And whenever I sit on the chair that I sit on to get dressed, I must either pick her up so she can hang over my shoulder, or I must pet or spank her. LOL.

When I sit in the LR, Moxie walks up & down in front of me, lightly brushing my legs. Sometimes it means she wants something, & sometimes she's just nonchalantly "petting" me. LOL.

My hubby and Tegato have a bedtime ritual. Every night when we go to bed my hubby has to lay on his back for a little while. Tegato comes up on the bed and climbs on my hubby and kisses him goodnight. He then curls up under my hubby's chin for a few minutes and lays there puring. Usually when he is done with my hubby he comes over and walks around on me head butting me for a while. Tegato's brother Claude also usually comes and lays on the bed between us for a little while. Neither cat usually stays and sleeps on the bed though. It is so cute to watch Tegato giving my hubby kisses.

Claude my other cat has a morning ritual. Every morning when the hubby and I get up Claude follows us into the bathroom and sits on the side of the tub. He sits there in the shower mist and gets soaking wet. Then he wants you to pet him day. The hubby and I get up at different times during the week so this happens with both of us. Claude has not yet realized that the showe itself is in a different place in both bathrooms. In my bathroom his sits in the shower mist on the tub and sometimes sticks his head under the shower. In my hubby's bathroom he does not realize where the shower is so he sits in the back of the tub and my hubby has to drizzle warm water on the cat with his hands. Claude prefers to be pet dry but it does not happen during the week much. On the weekneds we like to sleep in and sometimes Claude gets annoyed with us and starts running between our bedroom and the bathrooms meowing at us to get up so her can shower. On the weekends we sit around afterwards and pet Claude until his fur is dry. He sits there purring while soaking wet. It is so adorable.

Tillie & I have both morning and nighttime rituals.

In the morning, I sit down to have my coffee in the living room to watch the news and weather. She has to jump up in my lap, smell my coffee, then proceed to knead me until she gets my lap just right for her morning attention time.

At night, she sits on the toilet while I brush my teeth and clean my face then hops up on the sink for her drink from the faucet. After we get into bed, she has to lie on my arm then slowly slink and slither her way up closer to me until she is pressed up against me with her head nestled under my chin. She goes to sleep rather quickly but it is not the most comfortable position for me!

They are characters, aren't they!
