friday co-dependent cat blogging
This is not an unusual position, Max sitting on my arm, hanging all over me while I'm working. On the plus side, having to type with a 15-lb cat sitting on my left arm has strengthened that arm. On the negative side, there's much mewing and grumpy-cat-ness when I have to get up for something or answer the phone.
I try to convince him each and every day that sitting on the corner of the table is just as good, or wouldn't he like to watch the ducks with Deuce over on the couch? No go. This is the spot he likes, and I'd actually rather have him sit here than directly behind the laptop and its exhaust fan. The compressed-air-in-a-can people make a ton of money off me. I routinely take my laptop apart and clean it. The other day I took all the caps off the keys on my keyboard and pulled out all the trapped hair from underneath. I got enough to make a whole other cat, I'm telling you.
