Nightly wrap-up
As part of my night time routine I sit and meditate for about 10 minutes. Most nights Benjamin is in the room with me, frequently ignoring me, but sometimes he decides to act like this little cat distracting a meditating Buddhist monk. He likes to bump my hands for scratches, and sometimes to walk behind me, then stretch up to put his front paws on my shoulder and stick his nose in my ear (he does the same nose-to-ear thing when he tucks me in at night). I try not to giggle, but it's not easy. I mostly just treat it as a way to focus, as in "this is what's happening now, so pay some attention to it". Tonight was definitely a more energetic night for him, with lots of head butting for attention.
