Persia likes to nap on the bed in the guest bedroom. (It's odd, she
sleeps on my bed at night but never during the day.) This afternoon I
felt like taking a nap, too, so I decided to join her. I turned on the
ceiling fan, pulled up a quilt, petted her and said I was going to take a
nap. She meowed at me. She put her paw on me and stared at me as if to
ask, "What are *you* doing in here?!" She kept her paw on me and just kept
staring. Then she started purring really loudly. And it wasn't a
comfortable purr. She was disconcerted because I've never joined her
before on that bed. She didn't know what to do. And apparently she lost
touch with the Mothership.

I say, hey, Persia, we share the house. I open closet doors when you meow
at them, telling me they shouldn't be closed. (She has to go in and check
them for greeblings every few days, you know.) I feed you and give you
fresh water. You snuggle next to me most days while I'm on the couch
reading or watching TV. I provide plenty of entertainment for you in the
form of feeding birds. I let you sleep wherever you want. And most
nights you sleep with me. So guess what? I get do that, too

I enjoyed your post, but I did have to stop and boggle when you mentioned a
quilt. I have my A/C set at 78 F, and it can't keep up. It's around 80 F
in my house right now. I suspect it got near, if not over, 100F outside
here today.
