INFACT!! my eyes are actually hardly able to stay open AS I WRITE THIS!!
(i didn't.. i wrote that and went back to bed)
what made me so sleepless? why was last night so thrilling?
ITS BECAUSE!!!
THE CATS!!
THE CATS!!
the land lady is off doing her thang, so I get to catsit for the next few days (I had mixed emotions/concerns about this, for as you have read it a earlier post.. I'm not really of understanding about cats.. petting them.. holding them.. talking to them.. playing.. feeding.. the whole thing is a mystery to me.. and its also a mystery as to why they choose to attack me whenever I'm in presence of them..)
anyways.. we had some good cuddles last night when I got home from work.. they meowed.. I meowed back.. we watched some 'What would you do' it was quite a powerful and meaningful experience. But then bedtime came along.. and they wondered off to do whatever it is they did..JUST as I was falling asleep I hear this meowing.. A CAT?!! I'm so excited! for earlier in the tv watching I said to Aryk "WE CAN GET THE CATS TO SLEEP WITH US" and he said "I doubt it.. you can't make a cat sleep with you, it depends on the cat" or something along those lines.. hmm.. maybe I shouldn't be quoting him if thats not EXACTLY how he said it.. I'll ask him when he gets home from work..
BUT IN CAME that soft thing! climbed right over Aryk and straight into a spoon WITH ME!! and AS SOON as this creature GOT IN my presence.. purring began.. but it just kept purring.. and the purring got louder and louder! I of course was beside myself that this was happening.. and I couldn't help but let out a giggle every minute or so (poor Aryk) eventually though... (even though I tried not to move WHATSOEVER for I didn't want to ruin our special moment) I was TOO HOT and needed to move away from this cuddle monster so I could get some sleep! I rolled over. the cat got up crawled over me.. and just got in my arms ONCE AGAIN for a prrrr-fect spoon! I start giggling once again.. "WHERE IS MY PHONE?!!" I really wanted to send Kelsie a text or Facebook message so I could tell her instantly about my experience! (I was trying to decide at that time if I should text or Facebook.. I wanted to text but what if it awoke her?!) eventually I rolled back and fourth that the cat (I think) got the hint and decided to head out.
(more mixed emotions at this moment for me) but mostly it was all "OH GOOD! now I can sleep and stop disrupting Aryk!"
I start drifting off...
THUD THUD THUD
ooooohhh okay... so the last cat MUST have been Bastette this one climbed up on the bed and you could FEEL every step he made as if it was a mini earthquake, he climbs OVER Aryk and on top of my belly. This cat? yes. also purring loudly. long story short... this 'kneading' that cats do... kept me awake all night for he found my arms or chest.. etc. not to mention this is a FAT HEAVY CAT and today I am thinking that my ribs are bruised due to his choice of resting place.. He also concluded that his favourite spot is on top of my head which yes.. would mean that he was KNEEDING MY FACE!
I'm tired... (Aryk probably is more tired.. for he had to work this morning.. though he says "its okay.. I expected these kinds of things living with you.." WHAT DOES THAT MEAN?) he also says we aren't allowed to have sleepovers with cats anymore.. :(
but the most important thing is...
THEY LIKE ME! <3
the photos above are the cats HANGING OUT WITH ME while I blog. ohh the looooove!! :) (yes I know they aren't good photos but thats cause it was webcam shots..)
<- Before Aryk marched his tired self off to work today he tucked me into a small cocoon.. maybe he feared the cats would attack me when he would be not there to save me...
