I was trying to get a shot of how Mr Swayze had sprawled across the bed while I was up to take a piss, but as usual any attempt to catch him in a cute pose while he's anywhere short of sound asleep causes him to break pose, so instead you get a sleepy old gentlecat sitting up and giving me "what" vibe. But at least he stopped hogging the bed so I could climb back in. Sigh, the logistics of co-sleeping with a large cat with large personality. 😹

I just gotta boast on my dear Mr Swayze, who is, no joke, one of the smartest cats I've personally gotten to know. He has picked up the routine I've developed for giving him his daily eyedrops with lightning speed - he's admittedly a bit over-eager to get to the treat-reward part, but he minds me surprisingly well when I remind him to sit on the chair facing me, refrains from struggling while I hold his head to get the drop in, and then waits more-or-less patiently while I get the eyedrops safely stowed and serve up his treat. I'd initially been dreading trying to get this gunk in his eye, but the old gentlecat is so cooperative that it's a delight to work with him. And also massively food-motivated, TBH, but that takes nothing away from his smarts in the service of snacks. 😸
