It will never cease to amaze me how determination makes cats heavier.
Cricket is determined to continue sleeping on my lap. She's only 8 pounds, but I'm pretty sure the determination is at least a 2x modifier.

Sometimes you need a pick-me-up. Sometimes you need a good cry. Sometimes you need a kitty to come into your life when you least expect it and demand to be cuddled at all hours of the day like the piece of furniture you, my dear human, were meant to be all along.
