I was getting a bit worried myself. Our middle cat started hogging the bed this past week or so..she actually started when my husband left for his second work break. I have a funny picture on how Big Stuff (the senior) took my bed spot
when I got up to make a privy stop. Between them both, there was not much
room for ME! I have a funny picture, but it is in the laptop, and that is still
in progress and not here yet. I won't get to put it up til tomorrow!

But I kept wondering if my "time" had come!

We had a family friend who died young of cervical cancer (40's)--this was before PAP tests were routine. She had a fluffy cat who was pretty old at the time. When Mary died at home, the cat howled and could not be consoled. She would not leave Mary. I always remember that, as I was just in my late teens then. It made a huge impression on me then and still does.
