As the weather gets colder I find it harder and harder to get out of bed in the morning. Waking up feeling cozy under the covers is a wonderful feeling and snapping back to reality and touching the cold wood floor with my bare feet is getting more and more difficult. My cat seems to be having the same problem. Like clock work, once fall arrives and the weather becomes chilly, and the heat kicks on, she becomes more and more cuddly with us.

Case in point, she now jumps up on our bed sometime in the early am looking for some body heat to steal or at least a pat on the head. The last couple of weeks she has been cuddlying me like crazy in the mornings making it even harder to get out of bed. How can I turn down such a sweet little furball? Answer is - I can’t, so I have been sleeping in a bit more. She doesn’t usually do this on the weekends mind you, she only wants to cuddle during the week…figures!

At any rate, I think it is a good excuse to sleep in and I don’t feel the least bit guilty. By the end of the winter that cat will have me taking naps I tell ya!
