"Ok, ok," I mutter "I'll feed you."
Kay is still fast asleep, so I slide out of bed as quietly as possible, make a pit stop in the bathroom, and go into the kitchen to feed and water the cat and make myself some coffee.
I've never needed a lot of sleep, and most mornings I don't need the caffeine, but I like to ease into my day, and sitting at the kitchen table with a cup of coffee is a good way to do that. I consider breakfast, decide I should probably wait until my houseguest is awake because it would be rude to eat without him, and then lean down and pick Diego up and put him on the table. He sniffs my coffee, sneezes, and jumps back down to the floor. He sits on my feet. He's fuzzy and warm and heavy.
( You're a weird cat, I tell him. )
