Little Mess

The Little Mess, of course, by virtue of the fact that she's not the brightest of the bunch, often finds herself on the receiving end of a well-placed paw swipe.   Often at bedtime, because as cats (and other animals) often do, Little Mess favors a certain place on the bed that is also the favored sleeping spot of one Miss Twink - she of the notorious bad temper. 

Naturally whichever one gets the favored, special spot first, either Mess or Twink, must sleep with an eye open in order to defend this special spot (which happens to be along my right side, smashed as close against me as possible).  And the other spends a good part of the evening trying to get as close to the special spot as possible.  As one might have guessed, it's only a matter of time before a tussle ensues.

But this is not the only special spot at bedtime.  My bed is home to many special spots, and the night is filled with all sorts of intrigue.  And squabbles and strange noises.

But it is also filled with the sounds of purring and cooing, and lots of cozy cuddles.  We all have our special spots.
