Extra Cuddly

Since Persia settled down (after letting me properly know she was ****ed off
at my leaving her in that smelly place for 7 days), she's become extra
cuddly. Clingy, even. Last night I was awakened several times with my side
being kneaded (maybe she wanted me to get up and make bread or something).
My lips have been kissed, my chin licked and gently nipped and she won't let
me leave the room without following. Last night I took a bath and she sat
on the edge of the tub and chattered at me even more than usual.

Normally she only wants in my lap when I'm reading this group every once in
a while. Now she's not even politely tapping me to ask for an invitation
(which she knows I'll grant); she's just jumping up and curling up in my
lap.

I think she senses I'm going to send her to that smelly place again in a
mere 12 days.

I need to make sure I've got the suitcase completely re-packed well before
then so it doesn't disturb her. The problem with that is, the seasons are
changing and I have no idea if I'll need clothes for warm weather or cooler
weather. We'll be in Highland, Illinois 10/6-10/12. It's not far from St.
Louis. If anyone lives in the area and has any seasonal packing
suggestions, I'd appreciate it.

Meanwhile, I'm enjoying Persia's extra playfulness (aka the USPS "box" and
snuggles!
