Half & Half or I like it chilly

I can't help it, when I go to bed I like the bedroom to be nice and
cool. I also run a fan so there is air circulating. I have nice sheets
and a woven cotton blanket, perfect for this South Carolina climate. If
I get cold, I can always pull up the bedspread. I want the room cool.

Persia comes to bed with me most nights. She has since the first day
she demanded I let her in.

When I go to bed, first she has a few bites of crunchies (her Rx food).
She uses the litter box. Drinks some water. Then she leaps up the
pet steps to join me.

She's getting old, my little girl. The way I like to sleep, I'm
wondering if it's a tad too cold for her? I make sure she can feel my
warmth.

Lately, she gets down those pet steps in the middle of the night.
She'll sleep with me about 4 hours, then get down. She eats some
kibble. Then she goes off and sleeps somewhere in the living room.

I feel a little guilty. But I really cannot sleep in a warm room with
no air circulating. So I'm just letting her find her own place to sleep.

She always knows the minute I wake up. She comes wandering back into
the bedroom. "Hey! Isn't it time to feed me?" Not until after I wash
my face and brush my teeth, sweet-pea.

You described me to a "T"--temperature, circulating air, etc. Holly was
18.5 years old when she died, and I wanted to be sure she would be
comfortable since she spent most nights in bed with me. So, I took a soft,
warm blanket and placed it on the bed where Holly could shift it around, and
she often did that. I would find her either curled up close to me or rolled
up in that blanket. Perhaps Persia would like something similar. Holly
never seemed uncomfortable, but she did like that blanket. Duffy is now
about 15 years old (hard to believe), but he shows no interest in having his
own blanket. He just stretches out beside me. Of course, he always gives
me a good kneading first.

I'll have to see if I have something like that.

Persia sometimes still kneads my side.

But she doesn't knead my side so often or for very long, anymore. Her
poor front-declawed paws (I didn't do it!) are starting to bother her.
Her back is no longer straight. Her shoulders and hips are bearing most
of the weight when she walks because she doesn't have her front toes.
(I'd like to cut off the toes of whoever did had a vet do this to her.)

Otherwise, she's doing very well. Eating well, drinking well, peeing
and pooing. She plays a bit sometimes and licks that catnip "mouse".
She seems happy.

For the last month or so she's taken up residence on the living room
sofa if I'm using the computer. She never really did that before. I
took her picture
