First of all, I want to start by saying that I promise I'm not some crazy cat lady. I realize it may seem that way given that 2 of the 5 of my posts so far feature one or both of my cats. It turns out, they are much more cooperative subjects than my daughter, particularly when I'm trying to take pictures after I get home from work. :-)
With that said, today's picture is of my two cats, Eli (the big white one) and Zoe (the little grey one). You can't tell from the picture, but Eli is laying on a blanket on an ottoman in our family room. It is without a doubt the treasured spot for these two. It's not quite big enough for both of them, so they are constantly vying for the spot. Zoe tends to win more often (she's much younger and nimbler), but Eli will exert his authority and kick her out when he deems it appropriate. Tonight Eli was not feeling well, yet managed to claim the spot. Zoe must have sensed this and snuggled up, half on and half off of the blanket, to comfort him. Eli welcomed the company, nuzzling his head into her chest and reaching out to touch her with his paw. Wide-eyed and alert, Zoe watched guard for about 45 minutes, seemingly until Isabella was asleep and could no longer harass poor Eli. It was very sweet.
