Today is National Hugging Day and it brings back wonderful memories of the best hugging kitty I’ve ever had - My Eddie Bear. Ed’s favorite thing to do was lie on me and nuzzle his head into my neck to try to get my hair. He was a big, sweet, oaf of a mancat and I loved rubbing my fingers through his very floofy neck ruff.



Ed was one of my First Generation kitties who lived with us from 1995- 2006. The first post on this blog in 2006 was about losing him, but I’ll have to write about some of his antics and quirks. He was a fantastic kitty and quite a character.



HUGS! I am a serious, devout hugger! Hugs are the best.
Ed sounds like he was a great cat. We would like to hear more about him. Happy Hug Day!
He was a very handsome cat!
Eddie sounds like an awesome cat! I don’t know what kind of therapy cat he would have made, but he sounds like the perfect one for you.
Eddie Bear would have loved to lie on people. Unfortunately, if he got to happy, he’d start drooling. I’m not sure anyone other than me (his mom) could appreciate that!
Maurice wuz a real hugger too.
Aww, Eddie Bear sure sounds like he was a big fuzzy bundle of joy. I’m not much for hugs myself, but I do give dad 3 stars for constantly trying. Maybe one of these days I’ll learn to love it.
That is a really special huggy memory!
Such floofiness! Tell us all about Eddie Bear!

I can see how he got his name - he looks like a big Teddie Bear! He definitely looks VERY huggable!

It’s strange, the most hugging kitty was a male (I always had females, except now Arthur) his name was Max a beautiful cat also very big. He was nearly 20 when he died. That was before I started blogging in 2006.
Love hugging cats! Oh, and my family too!!
