The cats are becoming more touchy-feely. Readers may recall my mention of how Indigo likes to put her paw on my face, nose or mouth while she is lying next to me on the bed at night. Now, Imogen does it.
Her preferred time is when I relax - rather too much - for a few minutes after dinner. I sit on the couch and Miss Silky often climbs onto my lap. Because I never get enough sleep during the night, I am, by this time, frequently tired enough to nod off. When I close my eyes, Imo puts her paw on my face.
I am beginning to wonder if I appear more dead than merely unconscious when I sleep, and the cats are making sure that I will still be there to feed them later.
Touchy, feely!
ReplyDeleteHa! You might have the right of it! But I rather suspect she's looking for cuddles with her human. The photos are adorable!
ReplyDeleteAwww...how sweet!
ReplyDeleteNo...they know when we are sleeping. I am positive. They know the difference. I think the paw on your mouth, face, eyes, nose is love. I will say too that when I have had a bad night for whichever reason and I close my eyes "perchance to sleep" as I am so sleepy from being awake a particular night...she comes in from her naps into the bright sun where I am sitting and I have my head down, snoozing lightly. I always set my watch for 10 minutes...I don't want to truly sleep. Just doze. She sits and waits at my feet until I open my eyes and look at her.
ReplyDeleteMaybe they just want more pets, or they are worried about you sleeping anywhere aside from your bed.
