Gracie update, bedcat edition

It was a two-cat night last night. Gracie came into bed and stayed next to me for most of the night, something she never used to do when she was healthy. She was a blanket cave kitty for a while, then settled for having the blanket cover about half of her. Meantime, Tig was on his usual spot to my right. I don’t think I moved much at all in my sleep. I usually don’t, but I didn’t want to hurt Gracie.

She is eating regularly, but is still just a pale shadow of herself. She has yet to feel well enough to demand a major petting session. No imperious mews have been heard in this apartment for weeks. But hey, a two-bedcat night almost makes up for it.

    “I usually don’t [move].”

    How does a person know a thing like that? It is on par with my claim that I never snore… Some people have a nerve to dispute this one, I can tell you.

    Snoopy, you’re asking me to provide evidence? I don’t really want to get in touch with any of my ex-boyfriends.

    On the other hand, I have woken up in the exact same position I’ve fallen asleep, with the covers still wrapped around me perfectly.

    So you’ll just have to take my word for that. Most nights, I don’t move around much in my sleep. Not a flailer.

    I’ve left a wireless cam on myself while I slept. Didn’t publish the snapshots, but I tend to move around a bit as I sleep.

    The cats do, too.

    Right you are, Lair. The fact that Meryl finds herself in the morning where she started does not prove that she didn’t (for instance) travel to the kitchen several times for a beer or something, while asleep. It is unscientific to claim otherwise.

    We want a wireless cam recording or, pending that, a regular video recording as proof!

    Do the words “Not in this lifetime” mean anything to you?

    Meryl, I wouldn’t ask for a video of you sleeping, but I sure wouldn’t mind a catcam!
