Gray on the Couch

Lately, I have been feeling the angst of a new (one year this month) cat owner:  where does Charlie A. Gray go after we have fed him and he wanders throughout the day?  Why doesn't he (yet) cuddle with us?  Are we lacking cat-care in some way and he's picked another house to call his day-home?

I don't have the answers to those questions, but last night he came in and cuddled on the couch while we were watching the 2nd viewing of HBO's "Newsroom." (It takes us two viewings to catch all of the rapid-fire dialogue, nuances of meaning and finer points of acting in this great show).  It was a nice hour for the three of us.
