Sleeping more than the cat
Timin looks outside
Originally uploaded by sfllaw.
I was sick today, so I spent most of my time lounging around at home. And by lounging, I really mean being unconscious in bed. I think Timin got a little upset that I was sleeping more than he was, because he kept on waking me up and trying to get me to watch him eat.
Eventually, I had to kick him out of my room. He's nice to sleep next to, but he sure is persistent when he wants something. Right now, he is sitting, very demurely I might add, next to the mouse in the hopes of some affection. I've trained him not to step on the keyboard or bat at the mouse, which causes me horrible grief when my window manager is set to sloppy-focus. He's being adorable, just like he was in the afternoon.

I keep on letting him outside in the day, because I think that makes him happy. He's sharpened his claws into tiny knives, which makes it painful whenever he tries to sit on me, or sleep on my stomach. I have yet to get it into his little head that clawing me makes me upset, but I try. All throughout his time here, I give yelps whenever he does it, as if I am hurt. I think he claws me less often than he used to, but sometimes he forgets and I have to toss him off.
However, those claws are formidable weapons and so I am sure he is glad to go outside and hunt again. It will only be a matter of time before he starts dragging wildlife into the house. I only hope that he doesn't go after things that are bigger than his head.
