it’s just a simple fact that there’s nothing in this life that feels as good as another being feeling so safe and secure that they fall asleep on top of you.

In my case, it is the feral cat sleeping in the cat house with warming pad we put on the porch for him. Took almost 3 years to get him that trusting. Now he knows to expect breakfast on schedule. When he hears sounds of my getting up he pokes his head out to check, goes back to sleep. When he hears the door latch he's out like a shot, waits 10 feet from where i will put the bowl until i go back inside.
That level of trust is fine with me. I'd like more, but I take what I can get.
