BABY MAKES SILENT ROARS AND KNEADS MY LEGS WITH SHARP CLAWS.avi

BABY VISITS ME FROM NEXT DOOR FOR 6 HOURS A DAY. SHE LOVES THE WET FOOD I GIVE TO MY 3 CATS, BUT ALWAYS CUDDLES WITH ME BEFORE GOING TO THE PLATE I BRING HER (MY BOSS CAT DOESN’T ALLOW BABY NEAR THE HOUSE). SHE BEGINS HER GREETING WITH FORCEFUL HEAD BUTTS AND TAIL PERPENDICULAR TO THE GROUND. SHE OPENS HER MOUTH TO ROAR 4 TIMES IN THIS VIDEO, BUT ONLY A “CLICK” COMES OUT, SINCE SHE DOESN’T HAVE A VOICE. THEN SHE CLIMBS ON MY CHEST, AND GOES INTO ECSTACY BY KNEADING MY PANTS. YOU CAN HEAR HER SHARP CLAWS PULLING, AND THEN ME LAUGHING IN PAIN UNTIL I HAD TO PULL HER OFF. SHE TOOK THAT FOR LOVE, AND ROLLS HER WHOLE BODY ON MY CHEST. BABY IS 15 YEARS OLD, BUT SMALL (ABOUT12 POUNDS), AND RAISED BY MY NEIGHBORS TO BE EXCEEDINGLY AFFECTIONATE. THE THIRD TIME SHE VISITED, SHE GENTLY CLAWED MY THIGH UNTIL I PICKED HER UP, WHICH IS RARELY PERMITTED BY CATS, EVEN MY OWN!
