Aby-a-Day – February 3: Sleep, that knits up the ravell’d sleeve of care (Friday Flashback)
The post I made last week reminded me of the first weekend I had Jacoby. Even though he’d only just met me, and we didn’t choose each other, he crashed out next to me for a nap.
Considering his brother, Gun-Hee, seemed to never sleep at all, it was a wonderful and precious thing to me that Jake felt happy enough to nap with me like that.
And it’s even nicer when he does it today. Not only did Gun-Hee never sleep (we think it’s because he knew, somehow, he would have a short life and he wanted to make the most of the time he had), but, until he got sick at the end, he never slept on the bed with us. Jake, however, is always there when I wake up in the morning.
I love it. I’m not, by any stretch of the most imaginative imaginations, a morning person…but he helps.
Aby-a-Day – January 26: “One of the ways in which cats show happiness is by sleeping.”
My husband took today’s photos. I’d been watching television and fell asleep (which is why I’m sleeping with my glasses on).
Jacoby usually does sleep with me, but he almost always sleeps near my legs, usually behind my knees. Still, it’s pretty good for an Aby; Gun-Hee never slept at all, and Angel usually prefers to sleep on the cat tree than on the bed.
But for whatever reason, he decided to sleep right next to my head this time.
Granted, I didn’t really know he was sleeping there until I woke up, so I don’t know how long he was there, but it was a nice thing to wake up to.
“Okay, Dad, enough with the camera and the flash. You’re gonna wake her up.”
Aby-a-Day – June 29: Wordless Wednesday (My guardian Angel…and my guardian Jake)
Aby-a-Day – June 15: Wordless Wednesday (5:30 am)
Aby-a-Day – May 28: You’d be so nice to wake up to
…the best morning of the whole week!
Jacoby loves it when we don’t run off in the morning!
Aby-a-Day – April 8: Flashback Friday – Jake and Tessie
Look how small Jacoby was compared to Tessie!
He’s so much bigger now than she is, even lying down. This photo was taken February 21, 2010.
Here’s a more recent one (taken Christmas 2010) for comparison.
Even now, Jake always comes to Tess when he wants a little mothering.
Aby-a-Day – Day 269 of 365
Good news! We put Angel’s round fleece cat bed (which has a charming Siamese cat print on it; I got it in 1995 for my Siamese, Harri) into one of the new Ramvik tables (with the glass shelf omitted) and just left it there for her to find.
And find it she did.
It’s hard to tell if she likes it more or less than underneath the old coffeetable, for two reasons: one, there was a Red Sox-Yankees game on ESPN, so Angel was on the TV table all night; and two, Kylie’s been in that bed since Dave put her in it because Angel was watching the game.
Aby-a-Day – Day 239 of 365
We have six dining room chairs in our living room waiting for the table to be brought out of storage. They are gathered in a corner, and over time have had blankets and cat beds arranged on them in a way that pleases the feline members of the family.
It gets a lot of use, especially on sunny afternoons.
I’m not sure what about it the cats love, but I have a feeling that they’re going to be sad when we bring in the table.
Some more than others. Angel really loves the chair fort.
Aby-a-Day – Day 230 of 365
Jacoby’s been grabbing the spotlight a lot lately, because of all the outings and the ramping up for his therapy cat evaluation next month, and because he’s kind of a ham, let’s face it.
So here’s Angel, sleeping super cutely on the cat tree.
Aby-a-Day – Day 222 of 365
Angel loves the bed we put in the base of our glass coffee table.
It’s also pretty cool that we can see her in her “hiding” place.
It’s like a waterless cat aquarium!
Aby-a-Day – Day 145 of 364
I just love the way Angel sleeps on the top of the cat tree, using her arm as a pillow.
Aby-a-Day – Day 74 of 365
Jacoby’s started this cute new habit. He gets tired, goes into the bedroom all by himself, burrows under the comforter and goes to sleep. We say he’s “putting himself to bed.” It’s adorable.
Aby-a-Day – Day 71 of 365
When she relaxes, Angel really relaxes. She’s still quite skittish and nervous some of the time, but when she feels safe and secure (which is more and more often these days), it’s a heartwarming thing of beauty.
I only worry about one thing…what will she do when we finally get around to building the IKEA coffee table we got to replace that glass thing she loves to sleep under so much?
Aby-a-Day – Day 54 of 365
We are in the process of IKEA-izing our apartment. We have a set of Pax cabinets built in the bedroom; while we wait for another trip to Stoughton to get another set of drawers, Jacoby’s favourite sleeping spot is a basket on one of the of the still-open shelves.
Here he is in his basket, while Angel gauges her chances of joining him in there.
Aby-a-Day – Day 22 of 365
Jacoby is quite the contortionist sometimes.
He’s sound asleep here. How is this comfortable?
I think he’s playing with his lambbone here. Apparently, the lambbone is winning.
Sleeping before midnight
Gun-Hee was sleeping so cutely tonight, I needed to capture it for posterity…
Trust and confidence
I’m constantly amazed at how trusting and confident Gun-Hee is. He has no qualms about exposing his belly to the world when he’s asleep…
I’m especially fond of the one fang he’s got sticking out.
Don’t Let the Cat Out of the Bag
Despite an endless supply of better choices, Gun-Hee decided that my LL Bean bag was the best place in the house to sleep.
Gun-Hee always gives 110% to everything he does…
…including napping.
