When I woke up in the morning Tommy
was by the window gazing out. I knew that she had been on the bed sometime
during the night, but again she had chosen to let me wake up by myself. She seemed pretty unsettled, so I tried to
help by having an early morning play session, but she only halfheartedly participated.
I finally got ready and went out to run a couple quick errands.
When I returned it was raining and
there was some thunder. Tommy was glad to see me and we had a nice conversation
accompanying the petting by me and rubbing by her. When I went to the study to
work, Tommy found that I had changed some bookends and although one shelf she
liked to explore was now closed, the one above it had opened. She explored it
for a while and found that there was a little more room to maneuver. “We’re”
still not sure whether “we” like the change.
After the rain ended, Tommy lounged
in the living room and tried reading. I stopped out and found her sitting on my
reading chair “looking through” a book I was reading called How to Get Your Cat to Do What You Want.
Yesterday when I was reading it on the bed, Tommy came over, looked at it and
bit into the page. I’m not sure if she
likes the book for its literary content or as a snack.
The rest of the day and evening were
spent leisurely. We played & petted and Tommy napped. When it was time for bed, nothing seemed to
get Tommy to go into the bedroom. I left
the door open, but she was not budging from the living room. When I picked her
up, she settled into my arms, but when we got to the bedroom, she struggled to
be released. Usually I can make it to the bed before letting her jump, but this
time she got the better of me and jumped to the floor right into her food and
water dishes. As I knelt down to clean
up the mess, Tommy helped by eating any stray bits of food that I missed. I
went to bed and Tommy did whatever she does when I’m asleep.
