I am a terrible person.
Oct. 21st, 2008 11:29 amMy cats are curled up on the bed beside me, attempting to sleep. That's their job, and they're very, very good at it. They take it quite seriously.
If, however, I disturb them in any way-- if I jostle the bed, or touch them, or perhaps even look at them-- they...sort of...beep at me. It's somewhere between a mumble and a miauw, and it's rather adorable. But it has to be timed just right-- they have to be juuust on the edge of sleeping, or I just get cross looks.
So now, of course, I cannot resist "playing" the cats. They're even in thirds.
I'm so going to the special hell.

I don't remember who said "Cats were once worshipped as gods and they have not forgotten this"
