Most of you know I have trouble sleeping soundly under the best of
circumstances.  Last night I must have been exhausted because I fell asleep
on the sofa.  Persia was snuggled next to me and it's nice to sleep with her
curled into me.

Except after an hour or so, she got restless.  She wouldn't get down.  She
just kept moving around.  She moved to the arm of the sofa, but that wasn't
close enough.  So she leaned over and started kneading my head, which of
course woke me up.  I tried to encourage her to get back down next to me but
she wouldn't.  As soon as I drifted off again, she started kneading my head
again.  Persia, please stop that.  She ceased, for a moment.  Then I felt
her ease her fluffy self down onto the pillow, trying to sit on the top of
my head.  Persia!  Please!

I still didn't have the wherewithall to get up and move to the bed.  She had
settled back on the arm of the sofa.  I went back to sleep.  Then I felt her
creeping back down again.  This time, though, she only shifted half of her
body.  She gave me a couple of little licks on the face and purred in my
ear.  A moment later I felt her lay her head on my chest.  How sweet!  That
didn't last long, though.  She just wouldn't settle down long enough to let
me get back to sleep.

I finally had to force myself to get up and go to my bedroom.  And the
little minx settled down on my spot on the sofa.
