Let them in.

That’s how vampires work. And cat snuggles. Both likely come with bites.

My cat asks for permission to enter certain rooms and I half think he’s part vampire.

He has to be invited to enter.

Mine asks to come on the couch.

This is how I got mine. I had just my one cat for a couple years then one day a new momma shows up on my front steps and informs me that I have a new owner.

Eventually ended up with her and two of her second litter and they’re all lazily asleep on my couch while my first girl is on ~~my~~ her bed and will give me stink eye if I go in before my approved bedtime.
