This morning I had a rare pleasure. Filemu, my 7 month old female kitten sidled up to me and fell asleep on my chest. I think this might be the second

time in the 6 or so months that we’ve been together that she has done this. The only other time was just after she was attacked by three or four dogs and she needed some attention. She’s incredibly independent, unlike my other kitten, her brother Makelani who is severely codependent.

I like to think of him as a special needs kitten. She’s affectionate, and she’s always “kneading” with her sharp claws, but she usually prefers to sleep on something more stable than my body.

While Fil was fast asleep, I grabbed my camera a took a few shots. They mostly came out really dark because I didn’t want to use the flash and I couldn’t get up to let some of the nice morning light in through the windows. This was the best of the lot.
