scaredy cat

i came up home last night and didn't wanna leave my cats in peoria for such a long stay away. because there is no bed upstairs for me, i slept on the couch, but didn't want my cats to stay alone in that room. i can't let them have the run of the house cuz of their potential for shenanagens. so the solution was to ask becky, my sister, to let the cats sleep in her room, and she was fine with that.

at 6:00 this morning, when i should have been awake anyway, she came and woke me up to tell me that snuffy had been crying for an hour. "can i just let him run around the house?" she asked, "i think that's what he wants."

"fine, yeah, whatever."

so he emerged from her bedroom and was seriously mewing nonstop. mew-mew-mew-meoooow-mew-mew-mew-meowwwww.........

i called him and he responded with one 'mew' and found me. then he walked away and was once more pacing and 'mewing' for what i didn't know. i've never seen this in him before, i don't know if he had a bad dream or what. so i went and got him and held him for a while, thinking he would calm down. he didn't. he wanted to be pacing, not sitting on me.

but this time, when he started pacing, he was not crying - as much. and this i could sleep through. he's fine now, but extra cuddly because we're in a strange place.

what a dork.
