Although the 16-year-old rescue cat Charlie performs a fantastic job of sleeping alone, he enjoys a certain pattern with his favorite human, Dad.
Fortunately, Charlie’s dad is more than willing to support it since he understands how much it means to Charlie.
“At the beginning of the year, I returned home from an extended period away due to work,” Conor Coley, Charlie’s dad, told The Dodo. “The first night since I returned, he insisted on being spooned.”
Since that night, the elderly tabby’s favorite part of the day is when he gets to be little spoon.
Because the bed is his dad’s particular area, Charlie has always enjoyed sleeping there. He wanted to be a part of it.
Every night at approximately 10, he enters Coley’s room, she alleged. He will try to go under the covers if I’m already in bed, but if I’m not, he will wait just where I sleep and meow until I get into bed.

Eight years ago, Coley rescued the “very laid-back” cat, observing that Charlie contentedly lounges in the sun until it’s time to cuddle.
He begins to purr as soon as I walk into the room, according to Coley. “With the exception of the rare journey to get water, he will spend the most of evenings sleeping. He usually comes back right away and softly wakes me up so I can allow him back into the spoon.
At 16 years old, Charlie knows how to get the attention he wants and deserves.
“If he wants your attention, he’ll meow the house down,” Coley said.
But it’s all right. Coley enjoys their routine and connection.
Charlie has been both Coley’s partner and a pillar in her life. “He is always there when you need him, and when he comes in purring for a cuddle, it eases the effort of a long day.”
