Cats are not like windows
I've been taught a valuable lesson today......
This morning I thought I would have an extra 15 mins in bed reading but Smudge had other ideas, she walked over to my book and head butted it until I put it down to give her a scritch, then she laid down on it. This evening as I was watching TV and the programme had just reached a tense moment Polly walked over and sat on the arm of the sofa right in my line of vision and head butted me. I can only come to the conclusion they were trying to demonstrate that cats are not see through. ;-) -- Shirley see my cats at http://communities.msn.co.uk/Friendsfamilyandfelines2 http://uk.msnusers.com/friendsfamilyandfelines3 |

As the game goes on he will get closer and closer to the screen until I can't see around him and something kills me. |

I can only come to the conclusion they were trying to demonstrate that cats are not see through. Our family has come to the conclusion that cats are part of an anti-literacy campaign. With nine of them, its a miracle that any of us get as much time to read as we do. Tonight, Rascal decided that she was more important than any old Dick Francis mystery, and frantically rubbed her head on my book, hands, face, nose, and more until I'd spent a half hour or so re-assuring her that I love her more than all the rest of the cats put together. Then she went to sleep on Rob's side of the bed so that she could keep the rest of the cats away from her prize. I was so tired from loving non-stop on her that I fell asleep. At least that's my excuse for having my book, tv remote, and my glasses in bed with me when Rob came in later on. Pam S. Part of the literacy underground |

She curls up on the desk, using the telephone as a pillow with her feet on or near my mouse, and in return I have to remember to stop every so often to pet her. If she thinks that the petting is a little infrequent she will get up and sit over, not quite on, the mouse, and if she gets sufficient petting then will return to the first position, but, if I don't pet her enough or something urgent comes up then she sits in front of the monitor and if it is REALLY urgent she will start attacking the mouse cursor on the screen. It works for her but it can make working on the computer a little more difficult than it should be for me. Larry Osborne Property of Smudge and Peepers |

Hey! Which mystery? I just finished recently (for the nth time) "Wild Horses" "High Stakes" and "Straight". I love DF Am currently re-reading "Straight." I was reading "The Edge." Have been in DF mode this summer and have read "Wild HOrses," "The Hilt," "Break In," "The Bolt," "Odds Against," and a couple of others. I'm really bummed as I can't find my copy of my favorite DF "Decider" or "Whip Hand." I suspect they're in a box somewhere. Pam S. |

My cats have the same habit when I'm playing games on the computer....for some reason, the more hectic the action on the screen, the more intense the urge to pace up and down in front of the monitor and stick their butt in my face!

Min never lets me read the newspaper if I spread it out on the floor. She tries to crawl underneath it, which is very distracting. Reminds me of my friend's old saying: "A cat will always find the centre of attention, and then sit on it" Cheers (from the middle of a spectacular HK typhoon!) Al. |
