Hex isn't allowed in my bedroom because she used to pee in my bed regularly, but these days she pretty consistently sleeps against the doorframe of my office - across the hallway from my bedroom, basically.

I got her (and one of my other cats) as a kitten around sixteen years ago. She's never been very active and rarely wanted to spend time around anyone - human or otherwise - other than me. Because of that most of the time she's hiding somewhere and not often seen.

However, I can usually find her against the aforementioned doorframe overnight. Because she's getting old and I see her so rarely I always check to make sure she's alive (she is, at least as of the photo).

Tonight I saw her and gently woke her to confirm. (edit: I know it looks like her eyes are open in the photo - and they were, a little - but I assure you she was asleep.) As mentioned in the title, when she saw me she immediately started purring. It made me feel very loved.

(Also, I didn't notice until I was reaching to wake her or I wouldn't have bothered her, but while she was still asleep the beans you can see in the photo were twitching. I wonder what she was dreaming.)
