Let Sleeping Cats Lie

Zooey sleeping on the couch.

I was wondering what to write about this week so I decided to look through some of my digital pictures to see if that prompted an idea. Up popped the picture of Zooey sleeping on the couch and it came to me: Let sleeping cats lie.

Is there anything more touching than a cat or two sleeping together curled up in a ball? I find endless pleasure in just watching them sleep. They often have what looks like a smile on their face. Sometimes they are doing what I call “chasing rabbits” with their feet moving while they are in a deep sleep.

Yesterday I was busy cleaning house and doing laundry all morning. The cats were nowhere to be found.  As I put clean sheets on the bed, I found out where they had been.  The sun was streaming in through my bedroom window and all three cats were curled up in beds or on the floor soaking up the rays and enjoying a true cat nap. 

I couldn’t resist petting their warm bodies; I couldn’t let them lie there without touching them. Soon I had Baby purring away, presenting me his belly for rubbing. It was truly a pleasure to pet him and gave me a short break in a busy day that we both enjoyed immensely. I treasure those moments.

Please feel free to write about your special times with your kitties.
