It was quite a bedtime, thanks to Gwen [View all]

I had just settled down, ready to fall asleep. I realized one of the kid cats had jumped up on the bed and from the light pressure I knew it was Gwen. She curled up behind my knees and I thought, how sweet!

UNTIL

She decided to go into Pixie Puma with slathering jaws of death mode, combined with a pretty good imitation of the Alien 'face hugger'. She was AMPED! It took 3 attempts to pry her off of me, setting her on the floor, before she finally agreed to let me live.

Honestly, this little girl is full of nitro energy! Earlier in the day she could not have been sweeter, cuddling up on me and giving me kisses. Apparently she was lulling me in to letting down my guard.
