Love your cat more...awake or asleep?


Camilla has many poses, and this one is not current, since the "Passione O Niente" hanging from the wall, fell off and broke and I changed my philosophy at the same time! Now this question about asleep or awake (loving more, less, the same) extends to our partners, past and present. Asleep, a man or woman returns to baby simplicity. A dragon would probably be attractive, asleep. Most sleepers disappear into a fanciful realm. Sometimes we remember...us animals...sometimes we twitch or smile!
Here, Camilla has draped herself over most of my desk in this older photograph I took. It was during the Summer, I recall. I loved the tail dropping down the side and almost into a drawer!
... She tells me how she feels and that’s no lie.
For food, the comb, or watching squirrels play.
I have to leave her, yet I don’t know why,
But when I hold this cat, I want to stay...

Yes, I know how my husband looks when he is asleep. Like an angel. I always wonder what he is thinking. Then, when he wakes up, it's just business as usual...
