Aw Alert...

As most of you are well aware of, it's been (insert explecitive[s] here) cold lately on this half of the continent. So I was very thankful to get inside and to my warm spot quickly. Well, until I got TO my warm spot and it was blocked. But I really couldn't complain...

 Hai mama! I was keeping your spot warm! That's all! No I haven't been sleeping all day, I promise!

 Lemme sniff ya! I wanna know where you've been, who you've been around, everything!

I missed you mama! I reach for you! You pick me up and hug me? I hug you! I luv u!

When I put my hand over his head to get snorkels or nose-butts, he usually lifts up like a groundhog, paws curled, or one outstretched to grab me. Rarely does he reach out with both arms. It was just so precious, and really made my day. It's times like this that he reminds me just how much he chose me, not that I chose him. I truly believe once in our lifetimes we have that one animal we have a special bond with that no other animal can come close to (perhaps even humans). Curzon is that one. It's nothing against Nimbus, Jadzia, Snowflake or any of the other hodgepodge of rodents I had growing up. I love(d) them all. But Curzon... he's just different. There's a reason one of his nicknames is man-in-cat-suit. But, as crazy cat people, I know ya'll understand. And I know for some of you, it's a dog. that's cool. I'm not a hater. I'm just a CAT lady.
