When I was a kid the family dog used to put on very convincing performances like that when pulling on a rubber ring, only to madly wave its tail when you said “that’s enough now”. Used to freak out the passers by.

One of my German Shepherds used to do that when you tickled a particular spot on her chest, along with suitably ferocious ‘growling’ sounds. But if you stopped she’d wriggle closer and nudge you until you started again.
I much prefer a shared catnap with, of course, the cat. Cuddling with a doggo is also acceptable in a pinch, but it’s not the same as the living-heating-pad effect a cat has.

And I’m on the look-out for a cat as my kitten was kidnapped.
Might be worth getting a pit bull to defend the new cat, though.

I bet Baxter doesn’t do that.
