I miss Simba sleeping on my pillow. I never thought I would say that, but it’s true. When we first started letting the cats sleep with us, Simba used to wrap himself around my head. I’d never had a cat do that before, so it was a bit disconcerting, although soothing at the same time (nothing like going to sleep to the sound of a purring cat).

Simba doesn’t usually sleep with us, but he continued to sleep on my pillow when he did — until we got the dogs. I’m not quite sure what it is about the dogs, maybe the fact that Lola is usually curled up between me & my husband right by the pillow.

Now Simba tends to sleep behind my knees. And Simba is a large cat, all muscle at 14 pounds. That wouldn’t be so bad, except for the fact that Chester is often curled up on the other side of my legs. And sometimes Lola is curled up near my head. And for some reason this past week Simba has decided to sleep with us every night.

I miss having Simba as my pillow.
