Some of you will remember that when Kingsley went missing Cooper started doing this adorable thing where he punched me in the face when he was hungry. At 5 o’clock in the morning. Well, he still occasionally does that when I do something silly like fall asleep before feeding him his midnight snack.
So, this morning, I just assumed that since he was purring and batting me in the face that he must be hungry and so I chose to ignore him. (Actually, I told him that we weren’t eating until the alarm went off, but since my cats don’t speak English that detail is both silly and irrelevant.)
When the alarm went off and I finally did get up he ran into the room, watched me go about my morning business and then led me into the kitchen. ” I know, I know,” I said to him, “You’re hungry.” Only instead of stopping by his food bowl and waiting patiently he kept on walking and sat on my yoga mat in the front room. I stared at him for minute, put food into his bowl (Lily, my other cat, actually was hungry) and then went to join him on the floor.
I’ve been doing yoga in the mornings and apparently Cooper has decided that this is new special Kate and Cooper time. Isn’t that adorable? So, now I have to wonder, is he hitting me in the face because he’s hungry or because he wants to weave through my legs while I’m in downward-facing dog?
