Perhaps... he's only shown interest in sitting between me and the laptop for two weeks - he has a bit to catch up :)
"Laborers that shall not fail, when man is gone." Elemental work, tranquil as opposed to man's work. Enjoyed the poem and analysis :)
"Playing her parchment moon" - Federico García Lorca; The Gypsy and the Wind... https://allpoetry.com/The-Gypsy-And-The-Wind
Seems he wants more attention from you.

Have to load the tablet.
Yes. Since he took over the bed this early morning I slept in my reclining chair and he came out meowing all through the house after my alarm went off, finally settling between me and the laptop (in between games), got his requisite scritches and left (he's staring out the window at the dawn perched on his cat tree).
Enchanting poem! Loved it! :)
"RING-A-RING of little boys." - Kate Greenaway; Ring-A-Ring... https://allpoetry.com/Ring-A-Ring
... and he's back so I can't browse...
Do you usually sleep in your reclining chair? If not, maybe he is a bit upset for not finding you in your usual place.
Thanks for the Lorca he is one of my fav poets.
Enjoyed this "Ciranda" by Kate Greenaway!

Generally Tinker doesn't sleep on the bed until after I lay down... but when he does I sleep on my recliner in front of my 'desk' with my laptop on it facing the telly.
Enjoyed the poem and the summary :)
