The Furry Monsters Under My Bed

I’ve written a couple of previous posts lamenting the fact that The House on the Hill was not blessed with a Monster Under The Bed.  Sure, my neighbors’ Monster likes to  hang out under there at times, but it’s not the same as having one of my own.

Well, I’ve finally gotten my wish, Modern Philosophers.  At least temporarily.

This morning, I adopted two adorable kitties from the Bangor Humane Society.  Luna and Cali spent a few minutes scurrying around the first floor and scoping out the place.  Then they hit the stairs and raced up to the master bedroom.

They’ve pretty much been under my bed all day.  Not exactly fun for me, but I know it’s important to make them feel comfortable and allow them to adapt to their new home.  So, I’ve spent a lot of time on the bedroom floor, chatting it up with the Furry Monsters Under My Bed.

Cali and Luna came out for little visits, had a little something to eat and drink, allowed me to pet them, but showed no interest in spending any lengthy amount of time away from their kingdom under the bed.

About an hour ago, however, Luna decided to get all bold and come downstairs.  She jumped up onto all the window sills, and even hopped up onto the desk in the foyer.

Then, to my great pleasure, she decided to join me on the couch!  She let me pet her, chat her up, and even take a few photos.

There is Luna on the left.  What do you think, Modern Philosophers?  She’s a beauty, isn’t she?

I will share a photo of Cali whenever she decides it’s time for a photo shoot.  I have been messaging with Keren, the very nice young lady from the Bangor Humane Society who helped me with the adoption, and she assured me that Cali is a shy girl, but I will soon see that she is quite the loving kitty.

So I’m extremely happy to have two Furry Monsters Under My Bed.  I just look forward to when they become Furry Monsters That Sleep On My Bed.
