silent support

While you were sleepin’

Writing for Medium while Simba my cat helps me during her sleep.

We started early this morning. Simba and me, Ella de Jong (who made the photo). Nr.1

Yesterday I placed the high chair in front of the window, just for you, Simba. So you could gaze and be amazed while looking at the world outside.

This morning when walking into my bedroom I heard myself say: ‘Ohh, that’s so lovely Simba! I’m going to write on the bed (it’s what I’ve recently learned a lot of Medium writers are doing) and you are here silently supporting me! That’s so nice!’

Photo author 3 seconds after nr. 1 was taken — Nr.2

Until …

Photo author, 3 minutes after nr.2 was taken — Nr.3

you started …

Photo author, 2 minutes after nr.3 was taken — Nr. 4

moving around every two to three minutes!

Yes, you were silent and I LOVE looking at you!

Photo author, 2 minutes after nr. 4 was taken — Nr. 5

BUT … Simba! Please!

Photo author, 4 minutes (I restrained myself!) after nr. 5 was taken — Nr. 6

How can I ever finish my story??

Photo author, 6 minutes after nr. 6 was taken (nice job, Ella!) — Nr. 7

You are just TOO adorable!

Photo author, oh dear! 1 minute after nr. 7 was taken — Nr. 8

OMG! This is the perfect life. Wished I could lie in the sun like that! So utterly relaxed. Paws stretched, whiskers shining in the sun, tail neatly tied up ❤ That’s it. The perfect life!

Photo author, 3 minutes after nr. 8 was taken — Nr. 9

I find myself gazing and being amazed while looking at your world inside.

Photo author, 2 minutes after nr. 9 was taken — Nr. 10

I give up! I’m kissing you all over and I walk away from my laptop. You’ve made me smile and laugh. You’ve made me feel perfect; inside and outside.

I’ll restart writing within an hour. I’m going to eat my lunch now. Wayyy too early :-) When I come back, I hope you’ve left the silent support spot.

Well, do I?

Bye, thank you for reading and smile to all of you cat lovers, Ella
