the night time ritual: Jasper makes a regular pest of himself. He wants to be petted but he doesn't want to hold still.
he gives constant head bumpies. Then, this is the time Willow will come up by me. (he will not sit on a chair with me, but he will lay on the bed with me) so I take a lot of time with him, because this is one of the only times we get to cuddle. Monte and Amber are usually around at bed time, but not always the same time or place.
The morning ritual: THe first thing I see (or should say feel ) in the morning is Lucas licking my nose. Now this has nothing to do with love, he justwants his breakfast. Next comes the parade of kitties. This can be any number from 1 to 12 (Fern will never be in the parade) wlking back and forth across the two of us vying for the attention. I love to make sure they all get greeted and petted. An then the parade follows me into the bathroom. No closed doors here, not allowed....cat rules. This is where I look forward to a good morning pet with Calvin. He has been such a tough nut to crack, that the smallest steps, like a good petting in the morning, are heavenly.
