I've been working horrendous hours on some financial stuff for my daugher's
school and have had a parade of other people in the house helping me with
it.

Otis has jumped up and settled in on every single visitor's lap.  He purrs
like crazy, his tail (rather alarmingly) puffs out and curls towards his
head, he turns around to show them his rear end (they all say they prefer
the other view) and then he curls up on their laps.

A part of me finds this kind of disconcerting.  I mean, he loves his *mom* -
what's all this shameless sucking up to visitors about anyway?  It seems
somehow unseemly behaviour from him - I think he's mellowing in his old age
and I find it just so surprising.  He used to more wound up, more devoted to
one person, and eager to go outside rather than cuddle.  This is rocking my
world.
