This is an excellent conversation and I don’t mean to make light of it because I honestly lose sleep over Ukraine, but your cat makes me laugh. At first I thought it was my cat but then I realized she was right next to me. I recognize that “Pay attention to me” meow when you’re trying to work.
She's utterly adorable. She's 20 years old, she's only got three legs, and she finally has me all to herself after waiting her *entire life* for her adoptive sisters and brothers to die. And she wants every second of me. She follows me everywhere I go in the apartment. When I get up to make coffee, she grumpily follows me into the kitchen. If I close the door when I go to the bathroom, she sits outside the door and meows her head off. If I'm up and walking around--doing housework, for example--she follows me everywhere I go, but protests vociferously that she doesn't *want* to: I should to sit down where I belong--on the couch--so that she can rest. She sleeps most of the day, but when she's awake, she wants me to pet her, and she'll meow until I do. As soon as I start rubbing her head, she starts purring like a jet engine. If I stop--MEOOOOWWWW!
It's scarcely possible for an animal and a human to be more closely bonded. I so hope God gives me a few more years with her, but of course, she's 20. So I never say no to her. If she wakes me up at four in the morning because she wants me to scratch her head, I don't complain. I just scratch her head until she's ready to fall back asleep.
