Tinsley and the Gentle Throat Clearing Maneuver

Normally, each morning when I wake up, I love on Tinsley. This particular morning, trying to get back into the swing of working after almost 2 weeks off, I rubbed Tinsley's head a few times and went to make coffee. I heard a sort of throat clearing sound coming from the sofa. It sounded like, ahem, ahem, almost human. I looked over and Tins was on her back with all four legs in the air, wanting a belly scratch.
