I do push-ups in the kitchen every morning. Duncan has taken to getting under my head and scent-marking me during this process. You’d think that having a grunting, red-faced human who outweighs him by 160 pounds slamming a head into him would make him move, but you’d be wrong; he stands under me and I bury my face in his back. I’ve literally finished my push-ups with cat fur in my mouth.

Damn weirdo cat.
