Are all cats drawn to computers? Are they the ultimate technophobes or is the spot between you and the computer commensurate with you and the newspaper? Neither Emma nor Luther will dare sit in my lap. Oh no, but when my “lap” is the computer desk I can’t keep them away.
So today Luther parked himself right where I needed to spread receipts to enter in Quicken. I just pretended he wasn’t there and stacked them right on him. He hardly twitched, sat there the whole process.
Now Emma comes along later as I am viewing the picture I took of him. She sees brother on the screen, figures it’s her turn and plops in front of the screen. In a way, Emma is the bigger challenge because she doesn’t know the command “lie down” and he does, and she has that lush plume of a tail that Luther doesn’t. On the positive side, it is well dusted behind the screen everytime she loops back there.
Are you quite sure Hemmingway got any writing done in Key West with all those cats roaming around?
This was both cute and hilarious. Emma looks positively glowering, but maybe that’s the light.
I cracked up that you stacked your receipts on Luther and he just laid there. Those pictures are priceless.
Luther may be big, bad cat with bobcat origins, but this little female, three-time loser at the shelter(till she found us) has emerged as Alpha Cat. He’ll snarl when she tries to take his place on my bed, but then jumps off. Like any woman, she has the patience of Job. If HE was going to be on my desk, SHE was going to be on my desk. Simple as that. 🙂
I finally got my Molly to stop laying on top of my desk so I could see the monitor. It was the heat. My desk is glass so the top of the desk was much cooler than any other place in the house. Once the fan came into the room she started to back away from the top of the desk but then when the heatwave ended, she moved on to green pastures.
