I had a lovely wake up, this morning, even though it was 3:30

I just sensed I was being INTENSLEY stared at and opened my eyes to see Gwen doing just that. This is the first time she's made an unaided climb up the side of the bed. As soon as she saw I noticed her, she did a belly flop on my face. After that she settled down, right next to my head, on the pillow.

What a sweetie. AND I even managed to fall back to sleep!

"Look, Mom! I made it up here all by myself to wish you Happy Mothers' Day! Here's a BIG HUG!"

That's how I pictured it.

Happy Kitty Mothers' Day!

It is amazing to watch her grow. She's interacting and playing with ALL of her siblings - even Carys!!

Now that she's discovered she can do it you might have many more early morning visits.

I also have a kitty who likes to lay on my pillow & snuggle against my head. He's a lovebug.

Do you have beds for your cats? I bought one for our Muffin, but she doesn’t use it. As far as I can tell, she sleeps on her cat tree. We have a tree with carpeted cupped platforms, so they are comfy, but I wish she slept with us.
