so my man is gone for the weekend at a frisbee tournament and i have the house to myself (plus the kitties and some spiders). maryann (“my” kitty) generally tends to stay away from the basement even if everyone else is down there watching tv or hanging out, or if she does come down, she’s only interested in perching on the back of the couch–not cuddling.
yesterday, she came down in the early evening (during a thunderstorm) and crawled into my lap like a little kid afraid of thunder and completely relaxed on my tummy. later (after i had left and come back again and was lying on my side on the couch), she crawled up and lay on top of my (on my side) and stretched out her nose towards my face and actually licked my cheek a little tiny bit. it was very sweet.
