Old Rescue Cat Won’t Let Her Beloved Dad Sleep Alone
Cats love sleeping (almost as much as they love tormenting us). Although the 16-year-old rescue cat Charlie does a fantastic job sleeping alone, he enjoys a specific routine with his favorite person, Dad.
Fortunately, Charlie's dad is more than willing to support it because he understands how much it means to Charlie.
“At the beginning of the year, I returned home from an extended period away due to work,” says Conor Coley, Charlie’s dad. “The first night since I returned, he insisted on being spooned.”
Since that evening, playing the role of the small spoon has become the senior tabby's preferred activity during the day. Because the bed is his dad's particular area, Charlie has always enjoyed sleeping there.
He wanted to be a part of it, and his dad lets him.
“He will enter my room every night at around 10 p.m.,” Coley said. “If I am already in bed, he will force his way under the covers, and if I am not in bed, he will sit exactly where I sleep and meow until I go to bed.”
Charlie was saved by Coley eight years ago and noted that he enjoys lying in the sun until it's time to cuddle. Charlie is described as being "very laid-back."
Let's get to know them better:
Charlie, a 16-year-old cat, knows how to receive the attention he wants and deserves.
“He purrs immediately when I enter the room,” Coley said. “Most nights he will spend the entire night, except for the occasional trip for water.”
“In most cases, he will return promptly and gently pad me awake to let him back into the spoon.”
He adores sleeping in bed with his dad.
“At the beginning of the year, I returned home from an extended period away due to work,” says Conor Coley, Charlie’s dad. “The first night since I returned, he insisted on being spooned.”
Cats like to find a person or location they can trust to sleep on since they are very vulnerable when they are asleep. When they sleep with you, they are telling you that they trust you.
Although your cat does trust you, cats also want to be warm and enjoy our body heat.
“He will enter my room every night at around 10 p.m. If I am already in bed, he will force his way under the covers, and if I am not in bed, he will sit exactly where I sleep and meow until I go to bed.”
“He purrs immediately when I enter the room.”
Charlie, who is 16 years old, knows how to receive the attention he desires and deserves.
“If he wants your attention, he’ll meow the house down,” Coley said.
But it's all right. Coley enjoys their routine and bond.
“Charlie has been a rock in my life and also my partner,” Coley said. “He is always there when you need him, and it takes away the struggle of a hard day when he comes in purring for a snuggle.”
