It's breakfast time, but I have kept Lacey waiting for awhile. I always do because I think it is good for her to spend some time awake, and she'll just go for another snooze right after she eats.
Usually, I go down the stairs first, but sometimes I make her lead the way, and she always shoulder-checks me. just to make sure that Dad is following.
In this vid, she checked me six times.
Not very trusting, is she?
Happy Caturday
A nice chuckle you both gave me this mroning. (that's how my fingers mess up that word!) We could just start a new version of spelling!!
ReplyDeleteShe could be caring? No, okay, that's not likely.
ReplyDeleteSounds like my two. The older girl wakes me catwalling at the bedroom door.
ReplyDeleteI was too busy worrying about those slippers and tripping to study lacey!
ReplyDeleteShe was hungry. We all try and hurry things along!
ReplyDeleteMaybe she is checking that you are okay?
ReplyDeleteHave you ever heard the expression 'trust but verify'?
ReplyDeleteOne never knows, you may change your mind.
ReplyDeleteHaha, she doesn't want to have to go back up all those stairs to "get you" to get her food! I like Debby's comment "trust but verify".
ReplyDeleteShe is a sweet, beautiful and concerned cat 🐈 She wants to make sure you are doing well 😊
ReplyDeleteThat's a beautiful cat. Our small dog checks us too, but rather than just a look over her shoulder, she likes to rub up against the back or side of our feet and tries to lead us to her food bowl. It's what I call a trip-and-fall hazard!
ReplyDeleteShe's checking to make sure you don't fall! Linda in Kansas
ReplyDeleteIt is always good to change routine. That creates connection
ReplyDeletePoor Lacey, Hard to get good help these days.
ReplyDeleteYour story about Lacey’s cautious morning routine is both heartwarming and amusing. It’s a lovely reminder of the special bonds we share with our pets, built on trust—even if it takes a few extra checks to feel secure. Those small moments often bring the most joy.
ReplyDeleteI just shared a blog post you are invited to read thank you

Cats take nothing for granted when important matters such as food are at stake.
ReplyDeleteIf she's used to you leading the way, she could be extra concerned just because you following her is different from the normal routine.
Evidence of a wonderful relationship that enriches you both. I have a warm feeling
ReplyDeleteLoved your trip down the stairs--Lacey is so sweet!
