That's a great picture of Rusti, Shasta. Thank you for posting it - she's really adorable! I love that she gets your arm but doesn't 'bite down'. They KNOW!!!
I hear you about the 'stepping over' for weeks. I'm sorry you lost your Raven to lymphoma. Never enough time with them, is there?

And I guess divorce is another thing we have in common, hunh?
Titania likes to sleep on me - usually on my hip. So when I roll over at night, I reach down to hold her while I move so she's disturbed as little as possible

and then she usually settles back to sleep. I catch myself doing this when she's not there...Must not disturb sleeping kitties - it's a cardinal rule, you know.

Most mornings with them I awake like I haven't moved all night because it's likely true...
Got the names because I was re-reading it at the time (an English minor in a former life)...I often bury myself in books when depressed...and it just seemed to fit, being they are siblings. They were rather ridiculous when they were babies, but they've grown into them...usually I shorten them to 'Obie' and 'Tania'.
OK - one more pet story then I MUST go to sleep. A few years ago, Titania & Oberon look after my Mom. Usually they sleep with either Mom or me (they've become more 'hers' than mine because she's home with them all day). So, Mom and I are sleeping and my brother gets home from work around midnight (3-11 shift) and the kitties greet him at the door and mill around the kitchen. It occurs to him that this is unusual - they are usually in our rooms, so he goes to check on Mom. Sure enough, she'd gone to the bathroom by herself and fallen, essentially passed out in the bathroom floor. It turned out to be a mini-stroke.
I got a lot to say over in the Aging Parents thread, but I'm not up for it just now. I'm glad we have it though, to talk about a lot of these things.
Pets rule.
