It always happens when you’re having the best dream as well,” joined another. “Mine's great and cuddly and cute from like 11pm - 3am, but then he goes and has breakfast and when he comes back to cuddle again he literally will not stop flicking his tail around, so then I have to kick him out of bed because it makes it impossible for me to fall back asleep,” shared a third. “That’s so cute lmao,” added a fourth. “Love this,” wrote a fifth.
