oh, you're just as bad as I am. Jazz can never sleep through unless I'm also
sleeping. He is contantly being petter, kissed, his toes are rubbed, his
back is stroked. Poor baby. I bet they love it, though, all that affection
from their meowmies.

I wonder what one should do to a sleeping cat? I've been facing this
dilemma for as long as I've had Betty.

Sometimes, I feel like I should let her sleep as soundly as possible,
and I tiptoe around her and do everything quietly.

Sometimes, I think I should let Betty know that I love her, even when
she's sleeping, and try to communicate that to her without waking her
up. I'll sneak up to her and pet her gently, or stand a few feet away
from her and whisper to her. My hope is that she'll dream about how
much I love her. But often, this wakes her up.

Often, I just kiss her, because she looks so cute and kissable. This
wakes her up most of the time, but she's getting used to it, and will
just settle back down again. My favorite spot to kiss her is on the
back of the head.

Sometimes, I wonder if she's cold, and I'll check the temperature of
her extremities by gently taking the tips of one of her ears between
my lips. If the ear tip is cool, then I'll grab a blanket and tuck
her in.

Anything else I could do?
