Having completed my chores and obligations for the morning , I decided a post-lunch nap was a very good thing . Settled comfortably under a summer blanket , a light pre-sleep state was reached . Gabby decided that looked like an opportunity not to be missed and stretched herself out in the valley the blanket made between my legs . All was well and a lovely doze ensued for an undetermined time .
Suddenly , there was an intense pressure on my chest and my breathing was difficult...coronary ??? No ! Large , heavy cat !!! Bored with status quo...or maybe yearning for closer contact...she padded up to my chest and lay down .
So happy that she stretched her paws in contentment , (which , from previous posts , the gentle reader will realize causes perforations to said owner's tender flesh) and was not pleased with the resultant evasive squirms . She moved further up so her head was even with my ear and her body diagonal across my chest .
Imagine , please , yourself in this position . Gabby's whiskers tickling the side of your face and the sound of her constant purrs very similar to two husky mid-Western lumberjacks furiously using a two-man saw...right next to your ear !!!
The mental picture of a litter of sleeping kittens in a warm , purring tangle brought sense to her actions . She obviously felt comfortable enough to cuddle with a new member of her "pride" .
The funny thing is...she has no idea her devoted affection would be such a source of amazement and amusement ...we now just belong together .
She's a gift. I am happy you have her around
