Today I want to take some time to talk about Layla. I know she has her own devout fan club (for good reason), but there is something that y'all don't know about this adorable goofball of a kitton. Normally sweet, loving all all humans and so happy to see you she falls off the table when you approach, this nub-tailed marble also has a very different side to her personality. Sometimes, at night she becomes the dread Troll Under the Bed. We still are not sure why this happens, as it happens only in Maryland. At the WV cabin, in the camper, or at my mom's, she is a chonker-in-training cuddle muffin who likes to sleep perched on your hip or shoulder, or who curls up in the very center of your chest (People Squashin' Time!). You might also wake to find her sprawled across your legs, and Siada or Malik as well. When I announce bedtime, Siada races me to the bed to prance around and get kisses, settling in on top of me before I am even fully under the covers. Isis flops on my Pillow and Malik starts pouncing the bed wrinkles. Only Layla dashes straight under the bed to not be seen again until the sun rises. For the longest time I could not even figure out where she would disappear too at this hour. I would check and double check closets to ensure that she didn't sneak in as I was putting away the laundry. I would call and call and suddenly, out of nowhere, she would appear at my feet. This repeated itself for many months until I looked under the bed and there, with many of those lost socks that were mysteriously separated from their mates, was a pair of wide green eyes staring at me in disbelief that I discovered her secret. We have come to accept this side of her, the lurking little troll. We know that in the morning she will waken to repeatedly attack our unsuspecting toes from under the shelter of the dust ruffle. And by the time the morning showers are done and we have prepared ourselves to go out into the world, the goofball Layla casts off her trollish fiend alter ego and bounces out from the cave and is happy to wallow on the floor and have her belly petted.
