Morning cuddles

Well now I’ve run out of time to get my workout in before my first errand of the day… but when your cat decides to jump on your lap while you are meditating, and he snuggles in, it’s kind of hard to move.

He has hunkered down for a nap, and I can’t get myself to move him.

Our cat usually only gets on our lap when we have his brush, but he has become a lot more affectionate in the last few weeks. He’ll jump up on me, look my in the eye, and bump our noses. Then he’ll settle in for a good pet. Usually it’s about 2-4 minutes and he’s had enough, only longer if we are brushing him.

This morning has been a full on settle-in-and-get-comfortable moment and I’ve been ‘stuck’ here for a good 20 minutes. But if I’m completely honest, this is a nice place to be stuck.

A moment to paws

Our cat has an early morning routine. He comes to me, crawls on my chest, starts purring, and waits for me to pet him a few times. He doesn’t really settle in. Then he goes to my wife and flops on her head, purring away.

Today we both got the flop.

It’s a nice way to wake up before your alarm, not as nice when it’s over an hour plus before your alarm… but I’m not complaining. It’s a pretty wonderful morning routine, and one that made me ‘paws’ and reflect on the simple pleasures in life this morning.
