Sammy gets the chair
Both my girls love to hop up into the computer chair whenever I get
up. Like a lot of desk chairs, you can spin around in it. Some cats love chairs that spin, others don't, and I have one of each. LB is one of those who hate spinning chairs. If she happens to be napping in the computer chair, she jumps out if the chair spins 1/4 spin. Sammy, OTOH, loves to spin in the chair. She likes it best when I spin it for her, but she's worked out ways to spin it herself. Sometimes she'll leap from a table or the couch. If she does it just right she can get it to spin a couple times. And, if she can reach something she has been known to push off and keep herself spinning. A while ago I got up from the computer and went to fix dinner. Sammy followed to supervise my activities, so LB hopped up on the chair and commenced to groom herself. By the time Sammy and I came back into the room LB was settling in for a nap. When I sat down in the recliner to eat, Sammy hopped up to inspect food quality. She was disappointed with my dinner tonight, just soup, chips, and peanut butter and jelly sandwichs. The only thing I was eating that she liked was BBQ chips. I don't think she really likes those, either, she just likes for me to hold up a chip was she licks it. After I finished eating, I set dishes on the end table. A few minutes later I noticed that she was on the end table, standing with her back feet in the bowl, straining to reach the computer chair to start it spinning. Just as I thought to this was a recipe for diaster, the bowl started to slide. I managed to catch the dishes and steady her so nothing hit the floor, then moved the dishes. As soon as the dishes were out of the way, she easily reached the chair and gave it a good spin. I had forgotten all about LB napping in it, but as soon as she spun the chair LB hopped down and Sammy lept from the table and claimed the chair. LB glared at her for a minute, while Sammy returned the glare with a smug look. It worked out, though. LB came over and joined me in the recliner to get some scritches, then continued her interrupted nap. And Sammy was able to reach the table and spin herself. -- Steve Touchstone, faithful servant of Sammy, Little Bit and Rocky [remove Junk for email] Home Page: http://www.sirinet.net/~stouchst/index.html Cat Pix: http://www.sirinet.net/~stouchst/animals.html |

Of course she was too busy spinning in circles to notice that LB was happily asleep on your lap, otherwise Sammy would have abandoned the chair and figured out a way to displace LB from your lap.
