I was awakened around 5:00 by the sound of Tommy having some stomach distress.   When I turned on the lights, I could see a small amount of puke.  I couldn’t believe how little there was given all the noise.

I got up and went to check on Tommy. She seemed okay, so I just comforted her and let her know that everything was all right. As I petted her she began purring. Her purring got quite loud, but I was glad that she was content.

After that I went and cleaned up the mess and returned to bed. I was lucky to fall back asleep until the heat came on at 7:00. Tommy was sitting up on the top of her bungalow, so I thought I might be able to sneak in a little extra sleep time. When I didn’t get up, Tommy took matters into her own paws, jumped up on the bed by my head, and loudly reminded me that it was time to get up and got out her breakfast.

I quickly complied and then went to the study to work on postings and printing while she ate. Tommy spent most of the morning hanging out while I worked on postings since I was behind.  Whenever she needed some attention, she would either jump up on the desk, or rub against my legs to remind me that my prime objective in life was to do her bidding.

On Mondays I have class all afternoon, so after lunch I left for class. When I returned Tommy was ready for a little snack so I put out her grass while we waited for her dinner to lose its chill.  We also took some time out to play.

Once dinner was ready we ate our respective meals and then settled in for a quiet night.  I had recently found a small pen light and I thought maybe Tommy would like to play with the light.  She enjoyed chasing it at times. I still needed to learn the size and speed that she most likes to improve our playing time.

When it was time for bed, Tommy again went right into the bedroom. We spent a little time having one last play session before I got ready for bed. I put out Tommy’s late night snack, but she didn’t jump up to eat it right away.  She curled up on the top of her bungalow, but I’m pretty sure that once I fall asleep if she continued her routine, she’d jump up on the bed, eat her snack and then curl up for the night near my feet.
