On Tom: Subject is very cute!

July 21, 8:17 am
Subject has strategically placed himself in the sunlight on the floor in my room. Subject appears to be freshening up, licking paws and arm, ceases after 10 licks and lies, head resting on left arm. Subject snorts and appears to have fallen asleep.
(figure 1. large squares represent sunlight surrounding cat).
8:20am
subject makes smacking noises with his mouth as he shifts slightly, moving head to rest on floor (figure 2). Eyes slightly open - but glazed over - subject too lazy to close eyes for sleep.
8:22am
subject's ear twitches and his eyes move slightly - appear to roll farther up to the back of his head as subject falls into deeper sleep (figure 3).



subject's morning placement in warm room in the sun often leads me to suspect that subject likes the warmth more than the cool. however, verdict still unclear. Fur coat must be exceedingly hot on a warm summer day. evidence: K leaves on the AC and the fan for him and he generally lies sprawled under the coffee table appearing to drink it all in.

So cute!
