conulyAt least once a day I get a call about how my cat is sitting on her lap. I'm not entirely sure if she's complaining or boasting - Callie is renowned for not being the most sociable of our animals. "Why does she do this?"
Well, she's learned that your room is a warm, largely dog-free space where I frequently pop in and give her a snuggle, so she hangs out there. After hanging out there for three years she's decided she ought to occasionally leave her spot in the furthest corner of the room and say hi.
I can explain this to my mother, but I can't stop her from calling me about it.
In other cat news, Mama Cat keeps deciding the time for snuggles is right after I sat down at the keyboard (naturally) and Sweetheart has successfully conned two other families into feeding her, and is now absolutely the sleekest cat on the block, spoiled animal.

Date: 2020-02-16 09:36 pm (UTC)We have two cats who have been here for the long haul, Mama Cat and her child Callie. A few years ago we also got Sweetheart... and honestly, her appearance has always been a bit of a mystery. She showed up one day, and there was also a cardboard cat carrier on my porch so we've just assumed she was dumped, but....
Mama Cat mostly stays in Ana's room. Sweetheart is Eva's cat and mostly stays with Eva or outside. Callie is my cat, and until we got the dogs she spent a lot of time with me, but since the dogs think my room is their room she now spends a lot of time elsewhere and we have a good snuggle or two every day. This is not an ideal situation, but she doesn't seem unhappy.
