Every day at six thirty a.m. I am awakened by licks and paws all over me. Then, if I don't wake up, I start to get nipped on my hands until I awake. I see Jake, purring, on my stomach looking at me as if to say, "It's time to get up!" And no, it is not to feed him because he is a free feeder. He keeps on licking my face and arms to say "good morning!" At night, he licks me and purrs me good night and he falls asleep on the pillow besides me.
