Lovely awakening
I'm a senior citizen, and frequently wake up during the night. Because I'm
retired, my schedule isn't like that of working folks. I usually go to bed about 1 a.m. and get up about 8:30 a.m. I have missed being cuddled by a cat in bed ever since I lost Nanki-Poo almost two years ago. Waffles will sometimes come to me to be petted, and lie partially on me, but only for two or three minutes at a time, and maybe three or four times a week. A couple of nights ago, I woke up, and Pickles actually curled up next to me. However, Waffles immediately chased her off the bed. This morning about 6 a.m. I woke up, and Pickles again curled up against me. This time, Waffles wasn't around, and she stayed there until I got up, around 8:30. A few times she would get up, paddy-paw a little bit, then curl back up. She purred a lot. Sometimes she groomed herself, and if I petted her during those times, she'd groom my hand as well. I slept a lot of that time, but I'm sure she stayed there the whole time. It was loverly! -- Joy No amount of time can erase the memory of a good cat, and no amount of masking tape can ever totally remove his fur from your couch. - Leo Dworken |

She likes to curl up next to me under the covers, with my hand on her chest/tummy. I sometimes don't know which way she's facing, which is a problem - I reach between her paws to scritch her chin, and hope I don't end up scratching her butt. |

I have a very vivid memory from childhood. I was probaly 8 or 9. A cat was sleeping at my feet in bed. In the middle of the night, I felt like a cuddle, and turned toward the foot of the bed and hugged the cat and started scritching her chin... and realised she wasn't laying in the position I'd thought she was, and I was scritching her bum. Oops! Of course I begged her pardon and scritched her in the correct place, then went back to sleep. It's strange that I remember it so well though I must have been half asleep all the time. -- Marina, Miranda and Caliban. In loving memory of Frank and Nikki. |

That must've been Thompson. It is difficult to tell one end from the other when they're curled up. |
