The morning after
Went to bed around 1 am. Fell asleep eventually, while listening for sounds of cats being destructive (they were not). Woke up around 5:30. Sam was meowing desperately. Took a not-nearly-hot-enough bath. Will need to check the water heater level. Sam continued crying. Went back to bed, tried to muffle the meows with my duvet.
Woke up with Sam snuggled under the duvet (he is there again), and Matilda curled up against my legs.
