Gilbert the Explorer

Gilbert has been a very curious cat as of lately.  Yesterday, I had a blanket thrown over the back of the couch, behind me where I do most of my work from the laptop in the livingroom.  Gilbert jumped up on the back of the couch and shoved his head right into the blanket!  The blanket was moving up and down, up and down where ever his head happen to be.  I had to turn and watch.  The sure mass of Gilbert caused the blanket to shift back and forth and he dove deeper into the blanket.  I was getting nervous for him.

Then all of a sudden, the blanket became unstable when the poor kitty flopped down to get comfy inside his new home.  The whole blanket and 15 pounds of Gilbert slid off the back of the couch onto my lap!  Poor Gilbert was laying on his back all ensconced in the blanket, purring and purring.  He closed his eyes and fell asleep. Well, until I tried to go back to work anyway.  His eye snapped opened, he grumped at me then jumped from the couch. Ha!  Then from the floor he stared at me and started to complain to me.  I, of course, encouraged the conversation with a few, "oh yeah's" and "reallys" to sympathized with him. lol  Oh he let me have it, all right. Ha! That Gilbert!  What a character!
