I woke up a couple times during the night and saw that Tommy
wasn’t sleeping on the bed. I wasn’t sure if this was her response to my being
gone for several hours yesterday or her renewed timidity based on her previous
issues of the past two days. It would be interesting to see how the day would
unfold.
Tommy came in to wake me a few times before the heat pump
started. Each time she got some attention, curled up next to me for a while,
and then jump down and return to the living room until the next session. When the heat pump came on, Tommy made sure
that I got up right away.
After Tommy was served breakfast and I had finished the
morning chores, I went to the study to handle postings and printing. Tommy came
to join me. We spent some time petting and purring, you can figure out who did
what.
When we moved to the living room and we played with her new
toy. We then moved to the sofa, but after she spent some time, she moved to the
ottoman to get a better view of the outside activities. When she curled up I
got the heating pad and she moved to the sofa to nap in a warmer spot.
She sat patiently while I talked to my mother on the phone. Other than the occasional plane, garbage
collection, or other noise, we spent a quiet morning. I then got ready to leave for an afternoon
party. Tommy moved to the bed and stayed
there while I got ready and left.
When I returned Tommy was on the sofa. We spent a relatively
quiet late afternoon and evening. Tommy spent
time on the sofa next to me or above me, on the bed, or just about everywhere else
that she normally sits in the condo. We
had some play time including two sessions with chasing the light from my
glasses. Tommy also has become intrigued
by the light that is cast on the floor when the refrigerator is open. I’ve
learned to close the door very slowly because Tommy likes to follow the light
and could very well get her head knocked by the door as it closes. It hasn’t
happened, but she comes very close to keeping her head in harm’s way and I need
to “help” her move out of the way of the door.
When Tommy was in the bedroom, I decided to join her and
watch television in there. Tommy didn’t want to share the bed, so she went to
the living room only to return when her treat was put out hours later. She then
finished her snack as I got into bed. She curled up on the corner for a while
but as I was falling asleep, I heard her jump down and go back to the living
room. I appeared that she was still going to be sleeping on the sofa for
whatever reason she had.
