In the middle of the night

 




Once in a while I use a sleeping bag in the TV room and Rocky joins me because he loves the sleeping bag. He is a scaredy cat and normally approaches only when the sun is warm and I have a cat brush in my hand. Big 5 carries Coleman Mountain Ridge bags, which really keep the heat in and upone waking hot in the dark, I put my foot outside the zipper and felt something not a sleeping bag, but felt safe enough to remain foot outside the bag. Rocky shifts and leaves the bed without me sensing it, so when he delicately and firmly put his paw, talons extended, onto my fourth and little toes, he surprised me into stillness. I waited. Rocky waited. I moved a millimeter. Rocky sank his claw in more firmly. Calculating the disengagement angle and velocity, I shoved my foot back into the bag. Whew. Had three points of itching, stinging though.
