No Rico is not crazy. Rico is just laying there like nothing is wrong. I am going crazy! I miss his daddy so much that Rico is annoyed by all the kisses and hugs that have now been made double for him in daddy's absence.

The first morning daddy was gone Rico did do that weird touching-my-face thing that daddy said he did to him when I wasn't there, but it's totally strange and I don't know what it's all about. Rico just lays there facing me, his face aligned with mine (occasionally meowing of course), and then he doesn't hit my face and he doesn't nudge it, he just puts his paw on my face! I mean what is that about? It's just enough to wake me up...no actually the meowing wakes me up...so it's just enough to bother me to open my eyes and ask him what he wants, but then he says nothing... So I close my eyes and he does it again...just a light placement of his paw on my face like he knows he doesn't want to hurt me or annoy me, he just wants me to pay attention. This morning he didn't do it though so I wonder if he's gotten used to the fact that there is just one of us here or that there's something else that I will never know because, try as I might, I will never speak "cat."
