He would just perch on your chest and peer closely into your face to see if you were awake. (I always pretended I was asleep so he left me alone.) Sam will sit on your chest and gently poke your eyes with his paw. Riley will poke your mouth! That one always gets me out of bed unless I know he's coming and cover my head.

He tells us this by first scratching on our bed, then (if we ignore him), jumping on us. So I get up to let him out and he runs from me. I finally track him down and let him out. A couple hours later he's scratching on the door, demanding readmittance. Sometimes I think it's his world. We just live in it.Billhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08859125602809246773noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1694364001063554832.post-13340025984594813042015-11-15T07:19:45.891-05:002015-11-15T07:19:45.891-05:00Goodness, how well I can relate.

Once I move (God willing) to a place that's a lot warmer than Appalachia, I'm having a cat door put in and the litter box put outside. I love my critters but, as I age, there's less of me to go 'round, and more of them to want and be needy.Thistle Cove Farmhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15722295191884810953noreply@blogger.com
