Look, I love Shaun like the whole world, but my love for him will never compare to Bastian's. Bastian is inconsolable at night when Shaun goes to bed and in the morning when he goes to work. When Shaun comes home he is greeted not first by me, but BASTIAN. He MUST hold the kitty (who stands up and reaches for him like a toddler) and let the kitty repeatedly punch him in the chin with his forehead while digging claws into his shoulders. That is the rule and if Shaun doesn't follow it he doesn't get a minute of peace from this meowing cat up under his feet.
I don't know how long Shaun has been in bed, but this cat JUST NOW calmed down and came to sit by me. FINALLY. It's hard to get anything done (or any sleep) with him crying.
