Sometimes You See things More Clearly

My human mom was gone all day Friday, Saturday and came home late Sunday. Gosh, I didn't think she was ever coming back! I worried and worried. My mom had a pro pet sitter come in to make sure I had fresh water and plenty of it..and my foods. To play with me too if I would only allow it. I did not. However, the long note from the sitter to my human said I just rearranged my wet food on my plate. Usually I wolf it down and then start on my Science Diet dry. This time..not much of either.

BUT when mom came home..I was so glad to see her! I even let her medicate me right away. I asked to be brushed. I enjoyed being in the doorway with the sun shining thru the glass onto my newly burnished fur. But..not much else. Mom was so sleepy from her trip and staying up late that she went to bed at 2200 and turned out the light immediately. For the first time in close to five months, I jumped up onto the bed..laid on her chest like a small Sphinx, and then, taking her hand into both of my paws, I laid my head atop both her hands and mine. Just like old times. Mom thought I would never do that again as I have been stand offish. I was just so glad to see her again I had to be near her. Several times in the night, I meowed politely..just once each time, and climbed up to scent her hair and face..sniff her ears and eyes to see if she was in there..gathered up her hand again and fell asleep on it. I love her and knowing she is near again.

Today I ate all of my breakfast down to the last smidgen! I am a happy girl again.

She had to go off and get groceries, and take the car in for service. That made me nervous but I realized that she had not turned the burglar alarm on. Whew. that meant it was a shirt time gone. After I type this I am going to repose in the sun again and enjoy my afternoon.

Meows and purrs.
