Today's weather was predicted to be nasty and raw, and it lived up to it. When
I rolled out of bed, the forecasted inch of ice and snow mix was already on
the ground. It was overcast all day, and the 'high' temperature didn't even
make it up to 20 degrees Fahrenheit.
I didn't have anywhere I had to go, so I cooked a pot of lentils for dinner and piddled around on the computer. In the early afternoon I decided it would be a great time for a nap. There was just one issue. It was getting close to Jackson the cat's lunch time, and he gets pretty aggressive about reminding me. I wondered if I could get some quality snoozing in without being disturbed.

| Hi there! |
Thankfully, after his initial contact Jackson was a gentleman. I acknowledged
his presence, and he jumped off the bed and only let out a couple of loud meows
before he left the room. When I woke up from my nap he was curled up on the
floor next to the bed waiting for me.
Would you believe it was in the 70's down south here? Eh?
ReplyDeleteI could believe that...in your house, with the thermostat set at that temperature :-)
DeleteBlue is the first cat I've ever had in the house since I got married, and he is teaching me a lot about cats! When they are in the house, you notice their charm, independence, and intelligence. We're in the country and my cats have always been barn cats. Blue is some of the best entertainment I've ever had. I laugh at him often, every day.
ReplyDeleteI was a dog person growing up, but when we acquired our first cat in the early 1980s I was quickly converted.
DeleteJackson is great company!
ReplyDeleteYes, for both me and Tony.
DeleteYour Jackson is a character like ours and even resembles him. I read that this breed is very affectionate, vocal, and always hungry. I have renmaned our to Lucky, because he's lucky he controls us as well as he does. LOL
ReplyDeleteHA! I guess the moral of the story is that the cats are really in charge of things.
DeleteJackson is so beautiful. My kitties like my nap time, as they pile on around me.
ReplyDeleteJackson has never been a cuddler like his brother was, but since Pepper crossed the rainbow bridge Jackson's become a lot friendlier.
DeleteI've never been owned by a cat (*smile*), but your Jackson sounds like a hoot! Aren't animals amazing? I've a friend whose big dog comes to she or her husband and sings when it's time to eat.
ReplyDeleteThe story of how Jackson came to believe he must have three meals a day is a very long one, but its history goes back so far that it's not worth trying to change at this date.
DeleteJackson certainly has great faith in the short order cook.
ReplyDeleteHe knows he can count on me for the midday meal. His 'dad' does the other two.
DeleteOh I so love when the two cats and the dog allow me to take my cat naps, but I love it even more when they curl up with me and take one also.
