I am not entirely sure whether this actually happened or whether I dreamt it. If it happened, I was only half awake; if I dreamt it, it was the most realistic dream I had in a while, with no clues that it was a dream (like sometimes I dream of being half asleep but with my arms up over my head, or I'm back in my childhood bedroom)
but
Early this morning, I semi woke when a cat climbed onto me. At first I thought it was Loki because Monkey isn't a climb-on-me cat, but after a bit of responding to headbutts against my hand with sleepy scritching, I opened my eyes enough to see orange, so it was Monkey. She was purring and bumping me - and then *settled down* on my stomach for a while.
I fell back asleep (not hard since I wasn't really awake during this) and later there was no cat, but it was just ... special and magical and happymaking.
Like I said I don't know whether or not it was a dream, but it was an experience regardless, so maybe it doesn't matter?
