Dear Reader,
How do you move a sleeping cat? My 18-year-old cat snuggled in beside me while I was reading this morning. He's filled up the leftover space in the chair, it's toasty warm on his side now and his head is tucked in against the arm of the easy chair. A deep sleep has come over him. I know that for certain because the thundering and lightning outdoors would normally make him run for his box to hide.
I'm at "The End" of the book. My cat and I have been sharing this chair for the past 30 minutes, but it's time to get up and get on with my day. I consider possible ways to get up without disturbing sleeping beauty, but my options are limited because his body is planted firmly on the side of my skirt.
It's a little absurd that I'm waiting for a cat to finish his nap--could be a very long wait. Kitties don't actually follow cat nap rules. Once I disturb my feline friend there will be no easing him back into his sleeping position. I've tried before, but in his mind the slightest disturbance means the moment is lost. Maybe I could slip out of my skirt without disturbing him?
But all good things must come to an end. Rudy-cat, it's time to wake up.
Thanks for reading with me. It's so good to read with friends.
