The ever evolving sense of 'entitlement' demonstrated my house panthers
Gryff's new thing is to insist on curling up on which ever pillow I am using. I mean, to the point of pushing my head aside so he can have even MORE comfort. It can be very annoying, especially when I'm trying to fall asleep. He gets a pass, today. At 4am he started stealing my pillow. BTW, there are two other completely unused pillows available, one right next to me. Apparently that's not good enough for Gryff. But I digress. After he woke me up I decided to get a breath of fresh air before the humidity hits 10000000%. It's then that I saw that BEAUTIFUL glowing full moon. I think I caught it just before it dipped behind the tree line.
As for Merlin? When I toast a bagel for breakfast I always spread a little Neufchâtel cheese on a saucer. He LOVES Neufchâtel cheese. I'm careful to limit how much he gets but lactose intolerance doesn't seem to be an issue for him. He also likes to drink milk out of my glass.
Again, I digress. Now having the treat offered on a saucer just isn't sufficient. He insists on licking it off of my finger. On the bright side, he often follows up this routine by giving me kisses.
Honestly, where would I be without these precious kid cats?

No mommy, you take the cold pillow. I got this one.
It figures. Cats are like furry little heat seeking missiles that way (some, like Gryff, much more than others)! 
When I get up during the night to go to the bathroom, I often return to find that Willow has claimed the warm spot I left behind. I don't blame her, but that is MY spot, thank you very much! Fortunately, I have worked out a strategy to handle this. I get back into bed, cramming myself into whatever space is left, and crowd her as much as possible, until she finally moves over!

That make it all right with the world. 
I currently have no kitties in my world as I have moved far away and so I will probably never see Mikey or the three little girls next door again. Makes me sad to think about it, I hope to find one or two fur babies when I get into a permanent housing situation. Sure hope that's soon!
