My gal has gotten so affectionate lately!

She used to be a bit standoffish. But these days, she insists on laying on my chest when I'm doing the morning crossword puzzle. Then in the evening, she lays on my chest again when I'm watching a movie on my laptop. Last night, as soon as I turned out the lights, she got under the covers and didn't move until sunrise. I had to check to make sure she was still breathing!

for her winter residence. I always loved that time of year - not so uppity.

I get those too most evenings when my cat bread-loafs on my sternum. DTPT = Deep Thoracic Purr Therapy. OK I just made that up, but isn't it wonderful?

Like an adoring child. It's too funny! And she puts so loud she almost drowns out the audio on the movie I'm watching.
