Cats rule.

I was sitting on the couch watching a video, Loen snoozing beside me, when I felt Polaris come up beside me. I made encouraging noises, hoping she would lay down. Felt a nudge and she seemed to be digging around to get comfortable.

I was concentrating on the video and didn't look around until I felt a stronger tug on my arm. Glanced down, and here she had her head in the armhole of my wool vest. I thought that was pretty funny, so I tried to wake up Loen to see the cat with her head in my armpit.

As he was coming to, Polaris continued struggling and tugging... and got her front paws in the armhole too. "What are you trying to do, Polly? Climb right in?" I asked. I shifted a bit to see what she was up to, and ... voila!

She got right inside my vest, behind me and pushed me out. Suddenly I was sitting there in my shirt, devested, and Polaris was curled up in a nice cat-sized wool "blanket," all tucked in and everything. Don't know how she did it, but she stole my vest!

Very kind of me to warm it up for her, she says.
I told you, cats rule.
