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.
