Question

They are such great company! They are curious(好奇)about everything except for the cat window seat．My two furry friends have visited almost every place in the house.

Until I got Mars and Venus 1 was having terrible problems with insomnia．1 would go to bed at midnight and lie there until 4 or sometimes even 5 in the morning．I was walking around during the nighttime，and couldn′t seem to find a way to get to sleep．After one night of galloping from one end often house to the other, Mars and Venus moved in and when I go to bed，they do，too．

At midnight．I lie down in my warm bed, Mars finds his place on the pillow next to me and  then Venus curls up so that she is touching Mars．They sleep all through the night…and guess what．SO do I!I fall asleep almost immediately．
