Meditating with cats

At last night's sit there was another mention of the Insight Timer so this morning I downloaded it and tried an 8+ minute breathing meditation led by Jack Kornfield. I realized a couple of things as I started: first was that the one of my two cats (Fernando) was going to be joining me and second, the window was still open from yesterday's very warm day. Neither one was a distraction and truthfully, they both helped stay focused on the breathing and the body. I was aware of the cool air and the warm fur (of the cat) and his purring was very calming so I ended up in a more comfortable place than when I started and for me that's a positive step. Like the app and figure I'll try it for a week and see where it leads me.
