Taking Care Of You

Another picture drawn with a concussion. At the time I drew this, I'd had the concussion for a full month, which means I spent a LOT of time at home trying to heal. We have a cat, Tigger, who's technically my sister's cat but he follows me around EVERYWHERE (I guess he's claimed me as his personal human???). At any rate, being home so much means seeing more of the crazy fuzz, and at some point he seems to have decided it is his personal responsibility to take care of me. Every time I lay down to take a nap, he walks up to my face to inspect me or make sure I'm not dead, then goes and lies down.

One day I was so tired I collapsed face-first onto my bed, with my head at the end of the bed, which is his usual "throne". Since I'm apparently not allowed to be sleeping on the bed without him, but was lying on his spot, other arrangements had to be made. I woke up a few hours later with a very warm back and a cat foot in my face. Good Kitty.
