We couldn't really call this a selfie since Tommy is sleeping and he couldn't hold the iphone haha. He's actually up on the shelf in the closet too high for me to reach him. The interesting thing about this is that Tommy has not slept in his kitty bed since we moved to North Carolina. On Friday, Bob (Food Daddy), brought the Christmas boxes down from the "room that no kitty goes in". Since then Tommy has been yelling up the stairs from the bottom of the staircase or sitting in front of the door to that room and acting a little strange in general. He's not sniffing around the boxes although he could have done that at night. And now I find him sleeping in his bed. We are not sure if he's remembering the old house with their smells still on them or the fact that there are boxes stacked up again in the middle of the house, or just because Bob went in the room where no kitty goes and he saw him do it. The curious cat forever wanting to explore new spaces. Either way it's something different and I'm actually happy that he's using his bed again. Just hope he doesn't roll off it while sleeping/dreaming and hit the floor! 😅
I think smells are a very powerful memory inducer.
ReplyDeleteYes they are, A time machine.
DeleteNow Tommy, I would ask that you be super careful about rolling out..
ReplyDeleteI agree. He has probably caught the old familiar smells.
ReplyDeleteTommy what a nice throne. My grand kitties
ReplyDeleteMia and Frisco love to sleep in their peeps closet too. Frisco a biggggg ginger prefers the corners under the clothes he is not at all agile but Mia da Tortie has invisible wings. Hugs to you and Teaghan
Hugs Cecilia
Handsome Tommy, whatca dreaming of? I, too, climb to the highest peaks of the closet and snooze. Lynn has 5 perches up there fur me to pick from. We kitties never fall down. Precious
ReplyDeleteWe love snoozing in the closet, especially Trixie. That's a furry cosy looking bed, Tommy. Are you dreaming what Mummy calls "beautiful pussycat dreams"
ReplyDeleteYep, he’s finding comfort in those old house smells.
ReplyDeleteI agree, he smells the comfort of home and he looks so darn cozy!
ReplyDeleteHooray for the old house smells in your new house. Surely that's bringing some feeling of comfort to Tommy. XO
ReplyDeleteWe kitties are inscrutable sometimes. Interesting about the old house smells...hmmm. Very interesting....
ReplyDeleteYes, as others have said, he probably got a sniff of the old homestead. He looks very settled and cosy!

Kitty Cats! Go figure ~ and if you do ever figure it out, you must share!
ReplyDeleteCharlee: "That looks like a very cozy spot, Tommy. I would totally sleep there!"
ReplyDeleteChaplin: "I remember when Mama and Dada opened up a box with Dennis's old toys in it about a year after he left for the bridge. I spent a long time sniffing those toys, and then I went looking for Dennis. But, sadly, he wasn't there ..."
