Cat Forum / Cat Anecdotes / April 2005the other night I couldn't get to sleep
I am usually a sound sleeper but was worried about job, finances, etc. I went to bed around 12:30pm and Casey (my white fluffy Himmie cat) got into his usual position of right up against my neck. He curls up in a ball and purrs. Every 30 minutes or so, I was tossing and turning and Casey got up each time and turned to the other side too, relaxing into his usual position. I did this about 10 times and each time, he got up and moved over to the side I was sleeping on and curled into my neck. What a cat. How did I ever get to sleep before cats? >I am usually a sound sleeper but was worried about job, finances, etc. I >went to bed around 12:30pm and Casey (my white fluffy Himmie cat) got into [quoted text clipped - 6 lines] >was sleeping on and curled into my neck. What a cat. How did I ever get to >sleep before cats? It's great, isn't it? I sleep on my side, and Stinky likes to curl up next to my tummy. When I turn over, he climbs over me and settles down on the other side. ;) Theresa Stinky Pictures: http://community.webshots.com/album/125591586JWEFwh My Blog: http://www.humanitas.blogspot.com >> I am usually a sound sleeper but was worried about job, finances, etc. I >> went to bed around 12:30pm and Casey (my white fluffy Himmie cat) got into [quoted text clipped - 14 lines] > Stinky Pictures: http://community.webshots.com/album/125591586JWEFwh > My Blog: http://www.humanitas.blogspot.com I miss that about Grant. The girls just don't cuddle like he did! I hate that I keep intruding these Grant thoughts on you all, but it is just hard not to. I LOOOOOVED how he used to be the first one up and then he would come up by my right side and just fall (THUD) over and I have no idea how but he was always perfectly flush with my side, even though he just basically tossed himself down. How did he figure that out so precisely?? Cat radar? > I miss that about Grant. The girls just don't cuddle like he did!

How did he figure that out so precisely?? Cat > radar? Karen, keep telling us about Grant. It helps you, and we love to hear about him. While it's been five years since I lost Twilight, there are things I still miss - particularly the way he would curl up against the back of my legs. I love feeling a cat leaning into my legs, but the others don't really do that. But they all compensate in other ways. Kalynnda >I miss that about Grant. The girls just don't cuddle like he did! I hate >that I keep intruding these Grant thoughts on you all, but it is just hard >not to. I doubt that anyone minds hearing about what a special guy he was, and it probably helps you to remember the good times, even if it does hurt now that he's not there with you. That's how it is with me with Rocky being gone. He was a special guy in so many ways There are so many firsts when a former feral decides to retire from the wild life and adopt a hoomin: first time he lets you pet him, first time he purrs, the time he surprised me and jumped into my lap because he was tired of being ignored and wanted to be petted, etc. Firsts that were shared here group because the people here understand just how wonderful they were - heck you folks even understood how happy it made me when he decided to use the box instead of going outside. So, forget about any worried about intruding, we understand. Purrs that the memories will soon just bring a smile instead of the pain that missing him causes.

Thanks guys. >I miss that about Grant. The girls just don't cuddle like he did!

Cat >radar? Grant was so sweet. I hope that the girls are doing okay without him. Betty will also occasionally lie flush against me on top of the covers before coming underneath, or stay there if it's summertime. Cats can exert a lot of force leaning against you, even when they're asleep! The other day, I was already in bed, and Betty was about to plop against me. She circled once to make sure the area was flat, then turned away from me to flop over. Not feeling like getting shoved, I quietly shifted a couple of inches away from her. When she flopped over, I wasn't where she expected me to be, and she ended up rolled over with all four legs in the air! >> I miss that about Grant. The girls just don't cuddle like he did!

How did I ever get to sleep before cats? I know the feeling *except* sometimes when I can't sleep my tossing and turning disturbs Persia. She's discovered there is this entire side of the bed where she can have her own pillow! So when I'm tossing and disturbing her she nows moves over until I settle down and actually sleep. Then she comes back and tucks herself next to my side. Jill "jmcquown" <jmcquown@bellsouth.net> had some very interesting things to say about Re: the other night I couldn't get to sleep: >I know the feeling *except* sometimes when I can't sleep my tossing and >turning disturbs Persia.

There's about 14 lbs. of him, with lots of fur. :-) I actually didn't mind, as long as there was room for my head and he kept his tail out of my nose and his paw out of my eye. :-) Signature"The universe is quite robust in design and appears to be doing just fine on its own, incompetent support staff notwithstanding. :-)" - the Dennis formerly known as (evil), MCFL > "jmcquown" <jmcquown@bellsouth.net> had some very interesting things > to say about Re: the other night I couldn't get to sleep: [quoted text clipped - 11 lines] > I actually didn't mind, as long as there was room for my head and he > kept his tail out of my nose and his paw out of my eye. :-) LOL! Yeah, that would kind of be important for a sound sleep! Jill
