new cute thing
one of the things i love about my cat is that he changes his Methods of Cuteness from time to time. it's magical enough that a creature could remian cute well into his elder years; it just knocks me down that, in addition to that, he continutes to invent new ways of being cute.
so his new cute thing is this: he will lay down next to me while i sit on the sofa. first, he'll just do Modified Loaf Position... that is, with his hind feet out to the side, and his forelegs out to the front, with his head either up or resting on his forelegs.
he'll sit like that for a while, and then suddenly he'll gather himself up, and hurl his head against my leg whilst streching out into the fully sidewise position-- ie, both hind and forelegs out to the side. he'll rub his head against me and look up at me adoringly, purring.
it's terribly difficult to describe, but trust me, the cute factor is huge.

"Modified Loaf Position"?

Any cat lover knows Loaf Position and a number of Modified Loaf Positions. Check out B. Kliban's book Cat for some excellent examples. My two cats also have some tandem positions, including Bookends, Train, and Duel.
