Last night I fell asleep with ALL of the kid cats cuddled up with me

That's a rare event. Arthur usually wanders off. He probably thinks a King shouldn't have to share a bed. Sometimes Carys hops up after I fall asleep and always hops down before I wake up so I don't know if she was there, or not.

Last night she jumped up and tapped me on my arm, I guess to alert me to her presence. She settled right in and allowed me to give her as many scritches as I wanted. Gryff got a little jealous so he plopped down between me and Carys but after he made his point, he moved back to his pillow.

It's going to be a VERY rainy day, keeping me out of the gardens, so I know that every time I sit down, one or more of the kid cats will be on my lap.

By the time I wake up, he's either curled up right next to my head or, depending on his appetite, sitting ON my head.

Gryff competes with which ever of his siblings are curled up close to me. For a while he was taking up the spot that Carys likes but she just shifted to a bit lower on the mattress and settles down.

Madoc is usually tucked in right behind my knees.

Has anyone ever thought seriously of using cats to predict the weather?

I don't think predicting weather would be out of the realm of possibility.

I turned on the motion detecting laser lights and Carys had a blast.

I've also noticed that she has started to follow me around the house.
