Cat Forum / Cat Anecdotes / April 2004Recliner woes
Last night I kicked back in the recliner to watch TV, and before all was said and done I was watching half a screen, the bottom half blocked by a cat head. After sitting down, Sammy jumped up and took up her station between my legs on the foot rest. About the time she fell asleep, Rocky decided to join us. So up he jumps, and settles down on my stomach with his tail hanging down in Sammy's face. Then here comes Little Bit, to nap on my chest, with her tail hanging in Rocky's face. Sammy wakes up to find a furry tail in her face, and gives it a little love bite. Rocky decides he need to move up an little, so he starts pawing at Little Bit's butt. As far as Little Bit is concerned, she gets first dibs on recliner laptime, so she turns around, hisses and bops Rocky on the head. So, I pull Little Bit farther up my chest and rest my arm between Little Bit and Rocky. It meant that Rocky could now see a perfectly good scritching hand laying idle on my chest, so I had to use my other hand to scritch his head. This ended the hostilities, but of course left me waching half a TV screen.

They never used to be lapcats, but just lately, both Frank and Nikki have started to come up to me, wanting to be taken up so they can snuggle with me.

There is a couple in their living room with their invisible cat in front of the TV. They remark how they "... enjoy our TV much more now since we got our brand new GE invisible cat."

This has no effect on the cat. ;) Theresa alt.tv.frasier FAQ: http://www.im-listening.net/FAQ/ Single-mindedness is all very well in cows or baboons; in an animal claiming to belong to the same species as Shakespeare it is simply disgraceful.

Sounds all comfy. :) I have never experienced a cat pile-up until recently; Shadow is and never was a lap fungus so until Shamrock came along, it was just Marley (RB) who loved sitting on my lap but he was a drooler so it was a little gross sometimes. Now with my three, Shamrock and Bonnie will pile up on my lap and snooze. I can also relate to looking at half a screen because up until I got my new laptop, Shamrock would sit on the monitor every time I was on the computer and I had to keep moving his tail. ;) > Last night I kicked back in the recliner to watch TV, and before all > was said and done I was watching half a screen, the bottom half [quoted text clipped - 17 lines] > hand to scritch his head.

This is the point where we wish we had video receptors implanted in our heads, so that all we have to do is close our eyes and see whatever is on that screen which is blocked by a cat. Or that book, or that newspaper, or whatever. I think I'll patent the idea and worry about the technology and brain-surgery later ROFL Jill |
