Speaking of Cozy

Man, for some reason I've been unable to spell cozy these days. I'm always a little hesitant, a little suspicious when encountering a word with a Z. Like, am I sure?  A z? Really? Maybe I'm a little bit British. That's probably it. I've been spelling it "cosy," then "kosy" which is just silly. Anyway.

I always get nap envy when I see the cat/kat sleeping. He's just such a pro when it comes to the art of the nap. He really does it right.

I came down the other day and saw him napping in the cozy Christmas corner (must...refrain..from..changing all...to k's...)  and snapped a pic:



I know I've already blogged about this but this time there's a cat! Totally different. Plus now we can see what it was like a year ago compared to now which is sort of fun, maybe, not really.

And some close ups. I feel like they give me sort of a sleep zen. Like if you need a wind down at night, warm up some milk and just look at these pictures for a minute.

zzzzz

 
Fur on fur on fur.

Cat lap is pretty much the best thing ever. I'm pretty sure I've read articles or something from somewhere that say scientific studies show having a cat on your lap produces a natural calming effect. Like my friend who swears when she puts a sweater on their family's small dog, it calms her (the dog). (though if it calmed my friend, that would really be something). And then I read an article about a goat with serious anxiety that feels better when in a duck costume. Better find that one, actually. Click.  It's the same with Cat Lap (it's now a thing, I've decided) for humans.  Put a cat on your lap and you'll just feel better.

Something about the lighting on your arm (and Sean's arm, I think?) in this last picture confuses me a lot.

But now I want a cat. Thanks a heap!

ha! Yeah it's super weird. Strange whiteness going on. Almost looks like a skeleton arm, yipes.

Better just get a cat, Alanna. Don't you have chickens? You could have an inside/outside cat. Except maybe that cat would eat the chickens. Hmm. Our cat has door flaps to the outside and I swear he 99.9% takes care of himself.

I wouldn't mind having a cat, but my husband is allergic. He thinks we should get one of those hairless cats, but looking at pictures of them makes my stomach hurt.

No chickens any more-- the fox ate those back in April! :(
