Our FurKids seem to "know" when things aren't quite right...

Cinder was never much of a "lap dog". Oh, she'd jump into my lap when asked to, curl up and cuddle for a while. But she'd only want to stay there for a while, never seemed really "happy" to be there. If I stopped *skritching*, she'd crawl off and take up a position behind or under my feet and sleep there.

All that changed on Monday night - BEFORE the plane hijackings. Monday she wiggled her way onto the "kliner" chair beside me. Only the front half at first; but after a few minutes she'd managed to crawl completely onto the chair with her head alternately on my lap or on my arm. Happily stayed there for an hour or two. I had to coax her down to get up. Smokey was upset - since he IS a lap dawg! I had both of them in, on and around my lap by bed time! Two dogs and a Two-Legger is one serious load for the recliner!

Tuesday night, spent glued to the TV, was a repeat ~ first Cinder, then Smokey, even Boots, the Kat (NOT a lap kritter) ~ all three wanting lap time. Whoever wasn't snuggled either beside or on me was laying on my feet. The Kat even lay down with Smokey on the floor (not often done!)

Every evening has been a repeat - if the TV has disaster coverage playing - the FurKids want serious *snuggle time*. Makes you wonder... How do they sense that something is wrong in their world?
