when cats try to teach you something, pay attention. i took a little lie-down next to patchouli, who set the pace for the afternoon. she likes to slip under just the top blanket, and i curled up beside her, but deeper under all the covers, so we were separated by a couple of layers of fabric. i dozed off, then came to because sunny had jumped up on the bed and was coming in hot, expecting me to lift the blankets for him. he entered the makeshift tent and stepped onto my chest then flopped on his back in the crevice between me and patchouli, who protested with a grunt but grudgingly adjusted minutely to accommodate him. although he
 might not look too comfortable, he stayed that way
 for hours so it must have been ok, and though
i had other things to do i couldn't bring
myself to disturb him and the lesson
  i absorbed is that there might be no
higher purpose than to cuddle with
cats and imitate their ways.
