So you see, there's a reason I didn't get the bed made this morning after I got up. I do love the look of a made bed, and I know that an unmade bed makes the entire room look messy. But really! who could disturb that wonderful cat and tell him he has to go find somewhere else to lounge!
Lionel spends the good part of every night on my pillow. Occasionally, he even makes room for me to lay my head there...occasionally. And he's got this licking habit. I'm told that it's a cat's greatest compliment to us. I'm not sure I like getting that many compliments. When I finally can't stand it any longer, I put my hands under the covers. Lionel responds by putting his paw on my chin. My husband says it's a sign of ownership. Oh come on! I think he's just jealous - my husband, that is. :-)
Later this morning, when I go to our bedroom to pick up another load of clothes to throw into the washer, I'll check to see if Lionel is ready to give up his spot.
Actually, the temperature is supposed to get to the mid-forties today, so it would probably be a great day to strip the bed and hang those sheets out on the line.
Besides, I love the fragrance of sheets fresh from the sunny outdoors! Mmmmmm
