Friday, August 15, 2014: A Bed Rediscovered

Tommy doesn’t wake up during the night, or at least she doesn’t wake me up. When morning comes, she’s sitting by the window although I know that she was sleeping on the bed. This isn’t a good sign. I seems she’s upset with me, but after a treat and some petting she’s less upset. I give her a little alone time while I work on the computer. This usually reminds her about how good it is to have me around the condo.
Tommy spends the morning running between the study when she wants my attention and the living room when she wants to be alone.  A friend stops by for an impromptu visit and Tommy puts on a show. She’s very well behaved (most of the time), but sometimes the kitty entertainer shows up and she does some climbing that she’s never done before.  She even naps in her bed in the living room which she hasn’t been in (other than to knead or walk through) since her first day here.
The afternoon is spent either napping or playing. A clear plastic blind pull in the study gets her attention for a moment, but then she realizes I’m typing and she needs to get my attention. As the afternoon continues we vary our activity between playing and napping. It seems that now that Tommy has rediscovered her bed in the living room, she enjoys spending time in it when the sun comes through the windows.
In the evening I have to leave to attend a dinner and when I return it’s the usual scolding and petting. We play for quite a while before I head to bed. Tommy still isn’t ready to settle down, but I’m sure that she will amuse herself and come up on the bed later to sleep.
