Big Cat Hospitality

As I've mentioned before, Christopher has been staying with us for the past couple of weeks. He's staying in the guest room/Raggedy Ann room upstairs.

Marcel has been a very good host cat, and has been making sure that Christopher feels at home here. In fact, he's taken to sleeping with him most nights. In my mind, Marcel's little cat brain is thinking something like, "Let me help you feel at home. Surely, you should have a cat sleep with you." or "Hey, this poor man is sleeping by himself! I should sleep with him so he has company."

Whatever the reason, Marcel really seems to enjoy keeping Christopher company in bed.

Christopher went to bed earlier than the rest of us tonight, and closed his door.

Poor Marcel has been sitting in front of the closed door, meowing. I think he really wants us to open it for him so he can sleep with Christopher.

I'm trying to make him understand that Christopher will be just fine without him for a night, and that he will probably let Marcel sleep with him again tomorrow.

A cat's job is never done. :)

update
Dick just walked into the office asking if I had opened Christopher's door to let Marcel in.

I had not.

I seems as if Mr. Marcel has managed to muscle his way into opening the door all by himself!
Impressive!
