After an unprecedented gap, Eleanor jumped up on the bed, on me, for her morning cuddle. Followed by Zeppo. She went to jump off, and I held her and scritched her head, and nudged Zeppo away from her with a foot, knee, elbow.
"No, this is her turn. You can only stay if you mind your manners."
Eleanor didn't entirely relax, as I rubbed her head and held her on my abdomen, using an elbow to gently keep Zeppo away from her. He circled, chirowwling and head butting my elbow, eventually flopping and purring his cuteness. I looked at Eleanor and said, "Did you think I would only defend Moby from you? Don't you know I'll defend you as well?"
She didn't stay as long as usual, nor completely relax, but I hope I reassured her a bit. She likes him, but he obviously annoys her as well. So, pretty typical cats.
This is going to be weird and interesting.
Having friends over for Pie and Beer Day.

gz,
It's going to take a while. And we miss Moby sitting on Dylan's lap, and Eleanor sleeping on me, and this is just how it is now. Everything is changed, and we must adapt and wait. And it sucks.
