Shoulder kitty

[madbaker]

So tired this morning. Not for any reason I can tell - I got to bed around nine, and slept fine. But I'm a zombie and coffee isn't helping. Maybe I need to start injecting the grounds directly into my brain.

Galen, after a year of tentative attempts, has finally figured out how to perch on our shoulders and neck. In a stable fashion, I mean - at first, he kept trying to sit parrot-style, draping over the front and back. Cat, you're 12 pounds: it works better when you rotate 90 degrees.

But, as I said, he's got it down now and it's become one of his favorite perches. My neck says it's time to clip his claws again, though.

Have you tried a B-Complex vitamin supplement?

I'm finding my tolerance for caffeine is such that it also no longer works for me; even after two pots of coffee -- and some in the afternoon -- I'm half-zombified and can still fall asleep easily at night.

The 'Stress-B' supplement seems to work, at least for me. This is anecdotal evidence of course, but since I can identify the days I forget to take one by my level of lethargy, it might be worth a look.

We want pictures of the people riding cat. We do.

I agree with fionnbharo: vitamin B supplementation is a Good Thing, esp. B12. Another thought: the first thing the body looses when under any stress is magnesium. If you can find some liquid magnesium (works 150% better than capsules) and take a teaspoon in juice or water a couple times a day, you may see marked improvement in a couple of weeks, possibly sooner if you're one of those who feel vitamin supplementation effects immediately.

Hurrah Galen for becoming a shoulder kitty instead of a parrot kitty. My old Siamese learned the "Toupee" posture. My ex would wear him like a toup. The poor kitty would just calmly sit up there, looking at us for all the world like he was thinking, "You have to sleep sometime..."

sounds like it's time to put a leather yoke on a shirt or two...
