March 25: Kitty Cuddle Time

Thursday was a rough day for me. Started out feeling "okay" but slowly regressed into "awful" with a terrible headache, body aches, lethargy, chills, etc. (Thanks, hormones). I physically and mentally could not manage to do anything at all, so I ended up on the couch all day watching Hulu. Thankfully I didn't have a migraine ("just" a throbbing  headache) so I was still able to watch TV (during my worst migraines, I have to be in a dark room with my eyes closed for hours, which means no reading or watching TV, my favorite things to do when sick). Whenever I am sick, Fela (my black cat) definitely seems to know, and insists on cuddling with me the entire time. He is already an avid cuddler (he is on my lap as I type this), but I swear he is even more so when he knows I need it the most. He is comfortable and warm, and as I have mentioned before, his purring is soothing and calming, and most appreciated. He is such a good boy, and I love him so much. He is so delightful. In his resting pose, he often has his two long fangs (which I call his little toothies) hanging out of his mouth, like they don't fit in there, and it is just the cutest. If I have my legs out straight in front of me with a blanket over me (which I often do on my chaise lounge) he loves to stretch out, so that all of his limbs are completely stretched out, in between my legs, and the blanket almost acts like a hammock. Even in my worst bouts of pain, it is delightful to have such a sweet, loving creature be there with me, bringing me relief and joy and comfort. 

With delight,
