I was sitting here, reading the newsgroup, when I felt a wet little nose pressed against my leg. Nikki wanted something. I checked the food bowls, and they were full. Gave her some scritches, which she accepted purring, and then I went on reading.

A wet little nose was pressed against my leg. I reach down and pet her. A moment later, a wet little nose was pressed against my leg. Nikki is very patient with Meowmie, she understands that it may take a while for me to get the message with my limited brain capacity.

Finally, I got up and asked her what she wanted. She ran into the hall purring. I went after her, and she stopped in front of the hall closet, where I keep most of my clothes.

Nikki used to sleep in the closet, but I seem to have acquired too much new stuff, while never throwing out any old clothes, so the closet is packed nowadays, and Nikki can't fit in any longer. I opened the door and lifted her up to show her this sad fact. She inspected each shelf, and would not believe there was no room for her. She put out a paw and started pulling at my T-shirts to make room for herself.

I have a feeling it's time for me to clear out that closet, so Nikki can have her favourite sleeping spot back.
