That is fantastic! I, too, have been awakened many a night with a lovely bump or smack in the head from an adoring cat. I lost an 18+ year old magical creature just over a year ago so I well understand what you shared. I hope yours breaks the record for old age in the best health possible.
Thanks DoE!!
I can't believe I am sitting here crying -- and I am sorry for people who CAN'T cry for the love of a pet.
