Rocky's new milestone

Rocky continues to devolop into a loving cat, and today he hit a new
milestone. For the past week or so he's been reaching up and pawing my
leg when he wants some petting - though he hasn't learned yet to keep
his claws in.

Well, this morning he decided not to wait for me to stop what I was
doing, and jumped up in my lap. This is the first time he's
voluntarily been in my lap. In the past I picked him up and set him
there, but he's always jumped right back down. BTW, he still hates to
be picked up and does the stiff-leg trick, but never fights. Anyway,
he's now jumped up twice for some petting. The second time he almost
fell asleep in my lap, just purring away.
