Callie has learned a new trick

I don't always want a cat on me, contrary to popular opinion. Previously, her only recourse was to stare at me until I relented, but recently she learned that if she flops down next to me she can sort of sidle her way under my arm. One minute I'm reading a book, the next I'm hugging a cat! How did THAT happen? Flop-sidle, that's how.
