things he is good at

The best foot-warmer, in winter. Two services he provides: 1 ticking your cold feet, some guests of ours do not like it, because that made them giggle more than anything else. 2  under his warm stomach is a good place for your cold feet to stay, if he doesn't object. Sometimes if my feet was too cold, he would go away after I attempted to do that a few times to him. :) Option 1 seems to be the service he is more willing to provide.

A good nap companion, a warm pillow, sometimes bites.

A funny Yoga companion. He tries to climb on to your body whenever the chance strikes. It's especially funny if you are in the "Cobra" pose ...
