I woke up in the middle of a kidcat sandwich [View all]

It was about 1:30. One one side, Madoc was curled up and pressed tight against me. On the other Sian and Arthur had me 'penned in'. Gryff was across the room and who knows where Carys was sleeping. She's back to being semi reclusive. During the day she sits on the cat perch in the den and watches me. At night she disappears and sometimes doesn't even come out for treats.

Madoc often sleeps on the bed, a few inches away from me. Sian hasn't slept on the bed in quite a while. She'll snuggle and then take off. Arthur likes to sleep on the pillow, right above my head.

Not this morning. When I say I was in a kidcat vice grip, I'm not exaggerating. When I moved my hand, Sian reached out and pulled it right back and didn't let go. At one point, my other arm went numb.

I finally fell back to sleep a little after 3 until 5:30. I was alone and could MOVE. And, yes, I missed them.

Maybe this behavior is due to my seasonal/holiday depression and they are picking up on my whonky energy because during the day I can't sit down without 3 or 4 of them jumping up on my lap. Even Carys paid me a short visit, last night.
