Cuddly Miss Cross-Paws
The old girl, though occasionally gruff and full of attitude often, surely has her charms. One of her most adorable habits is the way she crosses her paws while lounging. 
For all the ribbing she and I give each other (yes, it does go both ways, really, I swear) She honestly is the most loving, snuggly old girl one could ever ask for.
All but this last photo were taken over the past few weeks or months, but this last one, a late post addition, was just snapped last night as we settled in for the night. As she does most nights Cleo hops up onto the bed and pads at a sloth's pace onto mom's lap. In super slow motion she lowers herself until she's sunken as far as she'll go, then rests her chin and slowly nods off.

Adorable! Our Tilly did that a lot. Not to be a downer, but we found her on her side, paws still crossed, after she passed away in her sleep. It was bittersweet, for sure.
Awww, she crosses her paws like a little lady!
