I am a Cat Mattress
The cats have found a new way to keep warm. Since they can't sit on windowsills and catch the updrafts from the radiators, they have had to get a little inventive. They have very quickly located the next best source of heat in the house: Me.
I have woken up, these past two mornings, with cats nesting somewhere on top of or around me. Yesterday morning, I woke on my back and had Lucifer AND Zak perched on my chest, with Tinkie on my feet. This morning, I woke on my side, with Noodle lying on top of me on my arm and shoulder, Zak curled up against my chest and Luce at my feet. I did close the door, but Noodle has learned how to open it. She has taught Zak this interesting little trick.
I am, indeed, Servant of Cat. My five children have definitely shown me where my rightful place in this world is. Surrounded by cats. Even my partner is a Leo.
Just think of it this way - they may be coming to you for warmth, but they're keeping you warm in the process. Why do you think I let my daschund sleep under our duvet - it's not because he's cute or anything...

Perhaps they're planning on how to take over the world and you're the first step in their quest for total domination? I always wonder what my cats are thinking when I awake to find them staring at me so sinisterly...
ReplyDeleteAnd another beautiful shot of you! Gorgeous, babe, gorgeous!
You are the Cat Lady, aren't you? :)
ReplyDeleteYour purrbabies have so much character! They still haven't figured out how to catch a llama yet, have they?
:)
Kerry: I don't mind the extra warmth. It's the crushing of my chest and the inability to breathe that is some cause for concern.
ReplyDeleteKaren: Tinkie gives me the evil eyeball in the mornings. And it freaks me out. I wonder how long they sit there watching me. I bet they all sit at the bottom of the bed and say, "Shit, she's waking up. Tinkie - it's your turn to freak her out. Yeah. Stare at her from the side table. That's so funny!"
Crafty: No llamas caught yet, although Tinkie and Noodle are fascinated by them and watch them for hours. The first time Zak saw one he too was transfixed. Think he freaked out a little.
That's sooooo sweet. My two kitties sleep around my feet usually.
