a tonk or kangaroo?

Does anyone else's tonk INSIST on getting INTO your shirt you are wearing?
It happened the first time I met Rigby. he just crawled down the front of my shirt and made a nest and took a nap. but even now, 4 years later, he still does it! last night he crawled on the back of the couch and came around to my neck and started to paw my shirt, till it was open enough for him to crawl down and go to sleep.
what cat does this???! it's like i am instantly pregnant with my tonk!
maybe he just likes to be warm. he does sleep under the covers every single night with us, but he really is just too silly.

Sina has done that... but only if I am wearing a sweatshirt. She prefers to curl up under a blanket instead... but if I am sitting on the couch without one she seems rather indignant and will then crawl into my sweatshirt if that is what I happen to be wearing. Yeah, definitely weird! Although, Sina is just weird all the way around...

Dulcie doesn't do that, but she does have to sleep under the covers with me.

Let's face it, Tonks are wierd. That's what makes them so much fun.

Neither of mine do that, but they do insist on sleeping next to me with their heads on a pillow -- preferably my pillow.
Guess I should consider myself fortunate that they don't insist on sleeping on my face…
