Those who listen to records while their cat snuggles with them will likely relate to this: One side of an album comes to end. You'd like to flip it over and listen to the other side, or you'd like to put on another LP. Your cat, however, has taken the time to knead you thoroughly, settle in on you, and sleep blissfully. You don't want to risk disturbing her, especially considering that she has claws and tends to bite you.
How do you react? If you're like me, and your cat is like Watchcat Collette, you stay where you are, longer--sometimes hours longer--than you intended in silence.
Sometimes, it's just pragmatic to keep the peace.
