My cold has knocked the starch out of me so I'm taking a lot of naps. The cats are taking advantage

Take this morning, for example. I fell asleep alone and woke up to this. The only one missing is Gryff. More proof I'm going to need a bigger recliner. (2 pics. Thought I'd better include another pic with the WHOLE Madoc and not just his back.)

I know it's partly due to them seeing me as a source of warmth but I like to think they just like to be around me. It's just so nice to be able to give Carys some soft pets. Her fur is still so kitty soft.

Gryff is usually on the back of the chair but he also love to sleep on table tops.

Seems they always get worse before better, but I've been able to eat a bit today. My furry girl doggy is keeping me company. Nothing better than a warm loving pet.

Then Little Miss Bitsy Bones comes along and gives me the evil eye so I have to move over. She likes to take the warm spot. At least your fur kids are helping to keep you warm. I'm sure their purrs will make you feel better sooner.
