A constant companion.

I never ceased to be amazed at the benefits I derive from sharing my home with the little, furry beast. As I write this, I am sitting in my office chair in a slouched position as she lies atop me with her head resting on my shoulder. Perfectly comfortable and at peace, she actually snores (or at least the cat equivalent of snoring). When I wake up in the morning she is lying atop me and as soon as I get up for the day she meows a good morning and begins to purr very loudly. I wonder what I could have done to elicit such a joyous celebration on her part but, it never fails to start my day off on the right foot. Sure she spends a great part of the day sleeping but, there are also these times when she is just ‘around,’ in the room or somewhere close by lurking about and making it apparent she likes my company. The funny thing is how some days that’s all you need for it to be a good day.
