The Life of a Cat
Woman in the Middle | November 20, 2015Ah, the life of a cat! It tends to go like this, at least at our house.
There is nothing better than a warm desk chair. If Lumos is hanging out in the room where the computer is located, he almost always grabs the desk chair the second I stand up to do something. Of course, I am usually gone for just a minute, so then he has to get kicked out of the chair, in spite of all his efforts.
Napping is always better with a friend. Nox and Lumos love napping where ever Blackie is. This time it was Nox and Blackie in the window seat. Now that it is a little cooler, all three are usually snuggled together on Eldest Daughter’s bed.
Cat videos are interesting to everyone, even cats! I saw Blackie and Youngest Daughter together on her bed, looking at her laptop, and asked what was going on. “We are watching cat videos,” she said. Of course, what was I thinking?
If mom won’t let you into her lap while she is at the computer, another good place is on the back of the desk chair. Well, if you are a kitten. Blackie hasn’t fit in a lap or on the back of a desk chair for 16 or so years.
Now, if I can just get a photo of them harassing the dog, which they both love to do now. I guess it makes up for all those months she barked at them.
My cat Morgan loves the computer chairs. I have to share with her but she is getting large! My butt barely fits! Then it’s walk all over the computer desk. Rub against the computer screen so it does weird things that take me forever to undo. Finally a chomp on the cords and then she settles down for a nap on the desk itself. Happens every morning.
How cute…but annoying…but cute!
Somebody tell mine that full-grown cats don’t fit on laps. The female is glad I have taken up writing, it means she gets to spend hours on my lap. The male isn’t so much, he plops himself right on my arms when he needs attention!
Blackie has just never been a lap cat. The fact that he doesn’t fit just confirmed it for him, I think.
I really like that photo of you with Lumos. You have such a pretty smile in it.
Thank you!
