I got a special treat this morning! Jetta (the feral) was sleeping at my
feet. She's really Angela's cat so almost always sleeps with Angela. But I
woke up to find her at my feet. I then turned the other way, put my head
next to her and petted her for a while. She was really sleepy. Just kept
on sleeping and purred. That rarely ever happens.

Then of course, Jazzy got jealous and hopped came down to that end of the
bed. She normally sleeps by my side, if not on top of me.
