Yeah, Yellow, that cartoon is the BEST. I've been sending and posting it far and wide. It is the TRUTH. All cat owners know this.
Our cat Nina, as part of this morning thing, likes to lick our noses, purring optimistically. If you try to hide your nose under the pillow or blanket, she will reach in and pull it out. That wakes you up FAST. She is also a face patter.
"My predominant feeling is one of gratitude. I have loved and been loved;I have been given much and I have given something in return...Above all, I have been a sentient being, a thinking animal, on this beautiful planet, and that in itself has been an enormous privilege and an adventure." O. Sacks
