TooCloseForComfort

As many regular readers already know, I have five cats and three dogs.     All of my pets were "rescues" of some shape, form or fashion.     And, some are more "attached" to me, both emotionally and physically, than others.     Especially, Alvin Bryant.

I rescued Alvin and his siblings out of a garbage dumpster behind a grocery store in 1991 where someone had dumped the whole litter of kittens.     I had gone to the store, and stopped by the adjacent movie rental store (near the dumpster) when I heard their little cries.     I found homes for all but Alvin, because he was skittish, and it took two cans of tuna to lure him close enough to catch him.     But, once he realized I was trying to help him, he has been my constant companion ever since.

He goes to bed with me. . . he gets up with me . . . he follows me around like a puppy.     But, since I broke my foot/ankle, he's been a little too close!     I can't move, or even re-position on the sofa, because Alvin is always snuggled right up next to me, plastered against my leg, or buddled up in the sheets.

And, talk about indignant!     He becomes highly offended if I even attempt to move.     There is NO comfortable position to put my leg in, and nothing is even close to semi-comfortable for very long . . . but, Alvin makes me feel guilty for moving.     The 'lil stinker!

My new constant phrase is . . . "Ouch, oooow, oooow!"
