After spending two days mainly in bed and mostly asleep, I could not sleep last night. I was in bed at 8:30 with Thatch, then Annabelle, and then Stella who stayed with me until 1:30, when Thatch returned.Annabelle, now in her eighth year, is beginning to show her age, and that has me concerned. Two nights ago she attempted to leap from her princess pillow next to me up to the top of the filjk g cabinets on her way to her bookcase aerie. This has never been a problem before, but she couldn't make it. She literally fell on top of me, took a short breather, and tired it again. This time she made it. but I could hear her effort to get onto the top of the cabinet as well as the sound of claws sliding on metal.
