Leg climbing kittens are adorable. I wish that could last. But I have experienced the growing kitten trying to climb up my bare leg in the bathroom trick. Ooph. Cute, but, well, I was reminded that maybe what’s cute in a kitten would, perhaps, be less cute in a full grown kitteh.
Glad the kitteh seemed to survive the encounter you described…
Our kitties patrol our garden. He who controls the mice, controls the universe
Also, although he passed last year, when we recused Odie, for the first two months he would meow incessantly if he was out of sight of one of us. And to the very end, he would crawl up under the covers and wrap himself around our legs to sleep
