That reminds me of a cartoon in the Kliban book, "Cats." There
is a couple in their living room with their invisible cat in front of
the TV. They remark how they "... enjoy our TV much more now since we
got our brand new GE invisible cat."

In my family, whenever someone obstructed the TV set, someone else
would always ask, pointedly, "Is your father a glazier?"

This has no effect on the cat.

Single-mindedness is all very well in cows or baboons; in an animal
claiming to belong to the same species as Shakespeare it is simply disgraceful.
(Aldous Huxley)

I tell Tiger every day that he makes a better door than he does a
window, and it just goes in one ear and out the other. In other words
he does the typical master thing and ignores me.

What a neat post. Sounds all comfy. I have never experienced a cat
pile-up until recently; Shadow is and never was a lap fungus so until
Shamrock came along, it was just Marley (RB) who loved sitting on my lap
but he was a drooler so it was a little gross sometimes. Now with my
three, Shamrock and Bonnie will pile up on my lap and snooze. I can also
relate to looking at half a screen because up until I got my new laptop,
Shamrock would sit on the monitor every time I was on the computer and I
had to keep moving his tail.


Last night I kicked back in the recliner to watch TV, and before all
was said and done I was watching half a screen, the bottom half
blocked by a cat head.

After sitting down, Sammy jumped up and took up her station between my
legs on the foot rest. About the time she fell asleep, Rocky decided
to join us. So up he jumps, and settles down on my stomach with his
tail hanging down in Sammy's face. Then here comes Little Bit, to nap
on my chest, with her tail hanging in Rocky's face.

Sammy wakes up to find a furry tail in her face, and gives it a little
love bite. Rocky decides he need to move up an little, so he starts
pawing at Little Bit's butt. As far as Little Bit is concerned, she
gets first dibs on recliner laptime, so she turns around, hisses and
bops Rocky on the head.

So, I pull Little Bit farther up my chest and rest my arm between
Little Bit and Rocky. It meant that Rocky could now see a perfectly
good scritching hand laying idle on my chest, so I had to use my other
hand to scritch his head. This ended the hostilities, but of course
left me waching half a TV screen.

This is the point where we wish we had video receptors implanted in our
heads, so that all we have to do is close our eyes and see whatever is on
that screen which is blocked by a cat. Or that book, or that newspaper, or
whatever. I think I'll patent the idea and worry about the technology and
brain-surgery later ROFL
