On two nights, during the past week, Casper did the cutest thing I've ever seen him do.
I was sitting by my computer thinking to myself, "It's getting late." I had decided to finish up what I was working on when Casper came into the room.
He sat by my feet. I thought he wanted attention so I reached down to pet him but, instead, he got up and walked to the door, looking back at me the whole time. I shut my computer off and walked over to the door. Casper was still looking back at me but, when I came near, he walked down the hall, toward the bedroom.
I went to the bathroom to wash up. Casper came in to supervise, giving me the same look the whole time.
When I finished, he walked over and sat by the bedroom door, still looking back at me.
I opened the bedroom door. Casper went in first and hopped up on the bed to watch me get ready.
I got into bed and Casper came over, purring loudly, while I got under the covers. I got situated, he laid down next to me and I petted him for a while before falling asleep.
It didn't dawn on me until this morning, what Casper was doing. I considered it, the first time, thinking it might have been a fluke. The second time was a repeat behavior, doing the same thing.
That's when I realized that Casper was trying to tell me, "Hey, human! It's past your bedtime! You should go to bed!"
It's the cutest damned thing I've ever seen Casper, or any other cat I've had, do!
I'm wondering... Do other people have cats who come to put them to bed when it's late?
