Mr. B has been with us for almost 17 years, well he has been with me for almost 17 years and Joel adopted him about 8 years ago. Mr. B is the cat formerly known as Clyde. We lost his sister Bonnie and started to call him Mr. B since Clyde was no longer a fitting name.
Mr. B is a total mammas boy and always has been. His formative years he was raised by me and he has a lot of my personality traits. He is always cold and cuddles under blankets with me, he is a bit girlie and whiney and is very high maintenance.
Mr. B has always been my lap cat and likes to cuddle most of the time, however since I have found out I was pregnant Mr. B has taken this to the next level. I cannot sit without him being on my lap/belly. He will follow me around the house mewing at me until I sit down. If I bend to take clothes out of the dryer or put them in a drawer he will try to climb in my lap as I am bent down. He is in the shower with me and even joins me as I try to go to the bathroom. I try to do work at the computer and he is cuddled up in my lap and will get annoyed if I move around to much. It has been somewhat taxing having a cat on me 24/7.
So the other night I was sitting on the couch and Mr. B was in his spot his head resting on my belly when I felt a thump right underneath his head-a Pickle kick. Mr. B lifted his head looked at my belly and took his paw and thumped my belly right back. I believe Mr. B is going to keep Pickle in line. It occurred to me then that Mr. B and Pickle are BFF’s and he is protecting her. If Joel tries to rub my belly Mr. B will swat him away or give his annoyed face.. I can barely rub my belly or I get the same! Anytime I start to feel sick at all once Mr. B jumps on my lap and cuddles up Pickle settles down immediately. We are very interested to see how Mr. B will react once Pickle is born. I believe he will not be jealous like I thought originally but he will be her protector and BFF.
Neko on the other hand has been raised by the both of us – and he is a manly cat. A hefty 23 pound jealous ox. He is cute but loud and opinionated. Pickle is going to need all the help she can get from Mr. B to fend off the google monster.
