Mr. G., as we came to call him, slept fairly continuously for about 48 hours upon his arrival, but even then, he'd rouse himself to greet people at the door. We put medicine in his eyes, and the infection cleared up. Soon, we realized that everywhere we went, the cat was there too. He'd snuggle with us while we watched TV. He slept with the boys in shifts: the first part of the night for you, the second part for you.
