Aamused in Austin, TX

I woke up with a bit of a sore throat and a lot of a headache this morning. Neither of these are 'visible' symptoms. I'm up, dressed, have walked the dog. I'm having coffee, reading online--you know, my usual routine. The difference is Sammy, my lard-butt Buddha kitty. He has not left my side all morning. He's lying here on the sofa next to me, touching me, cuddling up to me. Usually he's off lounging in a sunbeam or burrowed under the comforter catching a nap while no one is pestering him. This morning he has been glued to momma. He knows I don't feel good. Some how he just knows.

Bless his little fur face.
