“Authors like cats because they are such quiet, lovable, wise creatures, and cats like authors for the same reasons.”
―Robertson Davies

As a side note: You know it’s time to get out of bed when you’ve got a cat on your nightstand staring down at you and another at the foot of the bed standing like a statue. I seriously doubt they were protecting me from nightmares. It was more like “We let you sleep past 5:00 a.m. trained human, so now it’s up-up time before we start throwing shit down.” This is considered love. 😛
