Cats!

Precious seems rather unsettled lately, which isn't surprising, when you consider she has had the same upheaval in her life, we have. Precious was always Darrell's cat and she has been missing him; you can tell by the meow she makes!

The cold weather hasn't really helped both cats settle in to be honest. They both sleep on or in my bed at night, which tends to disrupt my sleep. It is unthinkable, making them sleep down stairs, it is just to chilly for that.

Without fail, Precious wakes me up at 5.30am every morning.  She makes this strange, almost sorrowful noise to get my attention. She never actually used to be that affectionate towards me, in the past, but as the months have past, she has become a lot more loving and needy.  This is probably in part, due to her old age, but also her own insecurities, in her new environment. Still a lovable cat, is a wonderful companion and a suitable  replacement for a partner, who is away in Australia!
