This morning I woke up around 5. Insomnia is a weird thing for me, strikes at odd times and often, like today, it strikes when it is conceivable that I *could* be awake but I so don't want to be.
And then there is Caesar. Sweet, 10 year old Caesar, who is a true loverboy when he wants to be. He is purring so loudly I can barely hear myself type. I need to put him on tape (boy, that just aged me) or something because his purr is something I cannot imagine doing without.
Loud, growly and almost symphonic in its tonal changes, his purr transcends the average happy cat purr. His purr is that of a much bigger cat but he works it nonetheless.
As soon as I'm up, I turn on the bathroom sink for him (just a little bit) so he can get a fresh drink of water. After I do this (and today, I crawl back into my cozy bed), he starts his happiness symphony which resonates throughout my bedroom. He is lying on my "guest" pillow, just purring away. Ahh, the sounds of a happy kitty make my heart sing.
It is a part of the soundtrack to my life and I love every moment.
