I woke up around 6:15 and Tommy was again still asleep on the
bed. I got up and went to the bathroom. Tommy woke up and moved to the door.
She probably thought that it was time to start the day.
After a quick petting I went back to sleep until right before
the heat came on. By that time Tommy was sitting up near my feet and let me
know that it was time to get moving. I
got up and gave her a portion of her breakfast which she ate while I worked on
the morning chores and postings.
When I came back out I saw that she was finished her meal, so
I put out the other morning portion. She was sitting by the balcony door, so I
got out the fleece teaser and we had a short play session. I love to watch her
get into her stance right before she pounces on the teaser. She wiggles her
little butt before she pounces. After the session I worked on continuing the
morning activities while Tommy moved to the bungalow to rest.
When I came back out almost all of her canned food had been
eaten and she was sitting on the perch of her scratching post near the balcony
door. This gave her a great view of a lot of the surrounding areas outside. I
worked on the laptop at the dining table while she surveyed the areas outside.
As I worked she jumped down and came over to say hi before
starting her morning jog around the condo. She then jumped up on the scratching
post perch before moving to the sofa to curl up for her late morning nap. Once I finished my work I joined her on the
sofa.
Later in the afternoon, Tommy jumped down from the sofa and
after checking out the action outside from her perch, she came up to me to let
me know that we needed to do something.
I got up and followed her into the study.
I thought that she wanted a play session, but she went and
sprawled out in front of the window to enjoy the sun. When I got close she rolled over on her back
which meant that it was time for a neck/chest petting. Once that was done, she laid down next to me.
I took a short nap listening to her purring and occasionally feeling the light
touch of her paw on my hand or arm.
I hated to get up since I was enjoying her company and the
sun, but I needed to get ready to leave for a cabaret concert in Chicago with
friends. When I left the study, Tommy
followed me out and went to eat some grass and enjoy the sun on the rug in the
living room.
While I got ready, Tommy sat behind the grass on the floor. I
wasn’t sure if she was using it to hide or guarding it. I finally had to put it
away, but got out her dinner and put it in the bedroom where she would be
staying while I was gone. She followed me into the bedroom when I took in her
food. I’m sure that she realized that I was leaving.
When I returned it was a little after midnight. I was really
tired, but I could tell the Tommy needed some attention before I went to bed.
One thing I noticed was that she had eaten her dinner which I was happy to
see. She hadn’t been eating her dinner
if I was gone, so this was a big improvement.
Since the study door was open, Tommy led me into the room
where we had a really good and long play session. Tommy was reluctant to go back into the
bedroom, but once she realized that it was time for bed, she scooted in and
waited for me at the doorway. I’m sure that she wanted to make sure that I was
also going into the bedroom and not leaving her again.
I picked her up and gave her a big hug. She didn’t fuss at
all so I got to hold her for quite a while.
I put her on the bed where she found and ate her snack. I got into bed
and said good night knowing that morning would arrive way too early for me.
