I think that its really funny and also really endearing when cats, the independent animals that they are, let down there guard and look to their owners for some love and affection. This morning at around 7 am, Rico tapped me in the chin, which made me open my eyes, but he was just looking at me so I closed them. So he tapped me again, I opened my eyes and asked him what he wanted. He meowed at me and kind of looked at my blanket so I lifted it up assuming he wanted under, and miraculously I was right. Rico crawled under the blanket and lied next to me and immediately started purring. Goes to show even the most self-sufficient animal can act like a dog. Haha.
