Bestest kitty cat

So, my stamina is still pretty much crap. Food time also ended up being exhausted and needing a nap time, which coordinated well with needing to wait for anti-inflam goo to dry so I could ice.
Therefore, I lay on my back on the couch and napped for a bit, while waiting for goo to dry. NSPy, who knows that normally this is a position in which I greatly appreciate his company, with him lying on my abdomen, decided to try to figure out how to get into that position without causing me pain. Except for one slight misplacement of a front paw (which I had him move), he did figure out how to manage this, and lay on my abdomen purring madly.
This is also one of the positions in which it is easiest for me to pet him, even with sad wrists, because I can mostly use my arms and not my wrists to do so. So there was kitty petting and holding, and purring and warm weight and napping. And my exhaustion reduced, and I wished I had a camera to capture the moment, because it was just so sweet and adorable of him to be so insistant about how to be on his exhausted and healing person in ways he knew we both appreciated. And it made me quietly joyful even through the exhaustion. And I am now, after probably 20 minutes of being purred at by the happiest cat ever, and napping, significantly less drained. And now I can go back to doing work things with the energy the cat helped me regain. Good kitty. :)
And I wish I had a picture, for it was adorable. But I have the memory and the joy, and that is more than enough.
