Here in New York, it’s a gray, rainy, day full of sad memories… Need some cheering up? Check out Dreaming of Kittens, a website full of pictures of sleepy kitties.

A typical view of Thurston upon waking up

Dear Thurston, I love you beyond 100%, I truly do. It doesn’t bother me much when you poke your head around the book I’m trying to read, or drape yourself across my neck while I’m trying to sleep, or greet me in the morning eyeball-to-eyeball. I don’t even really mind when you use my rear end as a pillow and sleep on it when I’m sleeping. But Thurst, really, do you have to jump EVERY time the air conditioning cycles on? At least you’re not constantly licking your belly any more, but still, you have been living with this A/C unit for a number of years now. And when you are sleeping on top of me, and I’m asleep, and you jump 3 feet in the air, well, it startles me too.  Also, I would think you’d be used to my sneezing by now – and as I always point out to you, you sneeze too.  And yet every time I sneeze, you go running as if a volcano has erupted. Well, I guess you’ll always be my delicate, sensitive Thurston – and I will keep trying, in vain, to explain things to you like sneezing and air conditioning. Love, Cat-mom
