My Disciples,
This morning Brother Henry noticed a perfect sunbeam shining in through the curtains. He was all excited to nap while soaking up its toasty goodness. He plopped down and started adjusting himself. Now, there’s a LOT of Brother Henry to adjust, so it took him quite a while to get everything just like he wanted. Just when his hind legs were at the correct elevation, his body was at the proper extension and his front legs were at the right angle he noticed that the sunbeam had moved. It was now sitting about six inches away, mocking him in his newly achieved comfort.
By the time Brother Henry got himself situated comfortably, the sunbeam had moved.
As Brother Henry lay there, trying to control his annoyance and deciding whether to move or stay put, one of the Guardians appeared to make his decision easier. She had just pulled Brother Henry’s favorite blanket out of the clothes warming machine in the basement. She draped the blanket over the rocking chair and Brother Henry immediately jumped up and sprawled out on the fuzzy warmness.
The Guardians came to Brother Henry’s rescue with a toasty blanket from the clothes warming machine.
Brother Henry had finally found the perfect balance of comfort and warmth. He slowly drifted off to sleep with his mighty purr reverberating through the house. He slept soundly… right up to the point at which I decided I wanted to sleep on toasty warmness too. Why should Brother Henry have all the fun?

Dear Mighty Otis, I am a 10year old female cat, I go by the name Mistletoe. I started following your blog just weeks ago and I feel moved to tell you how much I enjoy following your adventures. You do a wonderful job of gently steering the Brothers and the Guardians in the correct direction, for both their fulfillment and your own comfort. You are an inspiration.
Thanks Mistletoe, and welcome to The Cult!
Brother Henry is very hansome in those photographs
Yes, he really is a handsome kitty, isn’t he?
.
He looks so content! No wonder you wanted to join him..
I know! But he looked slightly less content after I joined him for some reason.
Ahhhh the warmth. Life is good with multiple warmth sources.
Yes it is, Phil!
Sunbeam or warmed blanket… Oh! I know, put the warm blanket in the sunbeam! MOL
I think I can hear his purr from here…
Warmed blanket in a sunbeam! I just started purring Myself!
Brother Henry looks quite content and satisfied where he is. I, too, like a sunbeam or when my favorite afghan is warm and sweet smelling.

Me too, and a bit, warm Brother Henry is the icing on the catnip cake!
That is such a sublime picture of cat contentedness! We envy you Brother Henry
So did I, Animalcouriers. That’s why I joined him!
My new motto: there’s a nap for that.
Batya! Who told you the super secret cat motto!?
yep, that is pretty much how sun puddles behave all over the world. Miss you Leader Otis…hope you can drop by again sometime soon, paw pats, Savannah
Huh? I didn’t know I had been gone Savannah.
I’m sure he was just keeping it toasty till you decided to take your rightful place on the blanket.
I like how you think Wazeau!
