100 words: Warmth

There is a welcome break in the heat and humidity of summer today, and maybe for a couple days. This change is reflected in the cats’ behavior. When it is too warm they want nothing to do with us. When it becomes the slightest bit cooler, they become like little heat seeking missiles and zero in on their targets. Laps are preferred, but also the more inconvenient locations: between and on legs in bed, trapping the sleeping humans in one posture for hours on end. Sure, certain morning aches are due to age but some definitely have a feline origin.
