Short and interrupted night

I stayed up too late last night. I felt really good. Bruno got to the bed before me. Big boy hogs the soft blankets and lays where I want to lay. Then he moves down to where I want to put my feet. You cannot move that cat if he does not want to move. I am going to bed early tonight. I am tired. Maybe I will not have to fight so hard for space.

You both must be making each other comfortable.

I am a comfort to him as he was my sister's cat, and he misses her. He is warm and hugely cuddly.

I hope you got a good night's sleep and that Bruno did the right thing and shared his bed with you nicely.

@GardenGerty That's good to hear. I wonder if he grumbles to himself about you taking up too much room?

How long have you had your cat? I'd like a cat someday, but Sadie would attempt to eat it if I got one right now.

@AmbiePam My sister had many of the issues of the elderly, especially the elderly who have smoked all their lives. She was losing her vision to macular degeneration--it can run in families, and she is third generation with it, but smoking causes that. What ultimately killed her was the plaque forming in all her arteries, so bits and pieces were dying. We did not expect this though. We will be having her memorial in Guthrie May 22. Her daughters wanted to wait for spring.

@GardenGerty First of all, I am so sorry about your sister. I did not know, but I wish I did. I knew you had always had cats, but had never heard Bruno's name. I'm glad you have him.

@GardenGerty Bless your heart. I hope you can get it through it without tiring out too much physically. Because you already know it will be hard emotionally.

Ask Bruno if he's paying the bills and then make him move.

Easier said than done. I could scatter a few treats for him and run fast to bed.

Bruno sounds like quite the guy. I wrestle three cats of various sizes every night. My husband is long suffering.

He is a big boy and he misses my sister, who had him maybe two years. She spoiled him.

@sallypup I have not tried to weigh Bruno, but I am sure he is still over 20, without steroids.

@GardenGerty Cats are meant to be spoiled. My Fred cat is on steroids so he must weigh around 20 pounds. Beau Teak isn't far behind.

Yes, I'll bet he does, cats seem to have that kind of intuition

My cats are the same way. I have to move them both to get into bed.

It has gotten better. Maybe he was worried since I was sick.
