From Sandy: Face-Off

(Blog entry written by Sandy)

The other night, no sooner had I gotten into bed and pulled up the covers, when Gracey arrived at The Land of Sandy's Face and settled in for some serious cuddle, pet, and purr time before falling asleep. 

When Jack arrived (all of 5 seconds later) he literally stopped dead in his tracks. Then, like the pappa bear in the story he loudly meowed, "Someone is sleeping in my bed!" Gracey just yawned and ignored the incredulous look Jack's face.

Jack was obviously dumbstruck at Gracey's lack of understanding, and quickly decided on a plan of action.  In an effort to assert his dominance over Gracey and regain his favorite piece of territory, he walked up and laid down right on top of her! She was still for a moment (I think in shock at the little bugger's audacity), then she started wriggling to get out. I attempted to intervene but Jack, determined to make his point, kept shifting his body so he could continue to lay on Gracey.

After several futile attempts at a claw free kitty rescue, I finally got Gracey out and onto my other shoulder.  This was all accomplished while scolding Jack through my laughter, yet trying not to open my mouth too much, because I'm getting kitty kisses all over my face from both of them with both motors going at full tilt! In the end, they each found their sleeping spot and were able to scamper off into dreamland drooling on the well kissed face of mommy.

Thank goodness the nights are getting cooler - those two equal one electric blanket!!!
