What's on your lap?

*sniff*  I don't have a lap.

But even if I did, Rita wouldn't be there.  She's not a lapcat.
She's a lay-next-to-person cat.

I've discovered that she'll eat more of her gooshy food if I bring
it into the bedroom with us at night.  She just doesn't want to go
that far away from me at night.  Am I well-trained or what?

Just as I opened this email, Dante FLUNG himself into my lap.  That's
how he gets around-- he FLINGS himself. ;)

That's got to be a kitten thing. That's how Ranger gets around, too. He's
capable of walking and running, and sometimes does, but whenever possible
he flings himself from place to place. This morning, when I bent over to
pick up my backpack to leave for the office, Ranger leaped onto my back,
then to the top of the bookcase, then leapt to the top of the curio
cabinet on the other side of the door, then to the top of the TV, then to
the top of the other curio cabinet, and stayed there until he had knocked
most everything off the top of the cabinet.

Fling and slide.  Fling and slide.  ;)

Yes, Caliban three. Sometimes when he's been out in the enclosure, he
suddenly comes galloping inside and FLINGS himself into my lap. I think
he comes to warm himself. :oP Same thing with the fridge. When I open
it, he FLINGS himself inside it. Silly boy.

yup, Claudius for four!

He can get right around any room circumference without using the
floor: tables, chairbacks, wardrobes, curtain poles...............
You name it, he'll have used it or bounced off it.

Still, "This too will pass".

Kittenhood doesn't last long (in most cases not all) so it's worth
treasuring.

My darling Eddie disagrees, she's on her 6th year of kittenhood.

Panther and Francesca are By My Side Cats, too. I have my scanner on a
little table next to my desk, and forget scanning pictures--it's really
a Cat Holder. =o) It's actually quite nice as it's companionable while
keeping my hands free to type.  Nina is more "Hi there, are you busy?"
as she puts herself RIGHT in front of the monitor screen. =o)

Lori, I'd be interested in the capabilities of the camera you
took those shots with.  (I'm trying to decide what digital
camera to buy.)  Do you know its 35mm equivalent?  What was the
actual distance from camera to cat?

I don't know anything about 35mm cameras.  My digital camera is a Kodak
EasyShare DX4900 with 4.0 mega pixels.  I can take clear pictures with it
from as close as 4 - 6.  It has three settings - long distance, regular, and
close up.

Hugs,

Thanks.  I looked up the specs.  It's 35mm on the low end.  This
tells me that I can be quite happy with the close up
capabilities of a camera that doesn't go below 35mm, as long as
it has the macro (close up) range.

Seeing some shots taken by the camera is much more helpful than
any number of reviews and comparisons.
