Cat Forum / Cat Anecdotes / September 2004<sigh> How Nice
It's raining steadily outside, and I'm sitting inside with a nice thick book. My furry little buddy climbs into my lap, does some perfunctory prancing around, and settles down with a rumbling purr. <sigh> Theresa Stinky Pictures: http://community.webshots.com/album/125591586JWEFwh My Blog: http://www.humanitas.blogspot.com Awwww, melt .... whatcha reading? I just finished reading some awesome fantasy books by Robin Hobb (Farseer Trilogy; The Tawny Man Trilogy; and Liveship Traders Trilogy) a couple of nights ago and I'm feeling the need to read something ...

Until he makes himself into a ball. Y'know, where they look like they have no arms and legs and are just a circular curl on your lap? Then I put the book on his back and go on with Smokey as a bookrest. --Fil >> >4. stroke cat until he balls >> >> Um, um, until he *what*? > Until he makes himself into a ball.

I'm picturing that now. At first I thought you were trying to say "until he bawls", but that didn't make sense! Why would you want to make your cat cry? Anyway, it sounds like turnabout is fair play. At first, he's in your way, but later he becomes quite useful. :) Joyce > >> >4. stroke cat until he balls > >> [quoted text clipped - 8 lines] > At first I thought you were trying to say "until he bawls", but that > didn't make sense! Why would you want to make your cat cry? Well, we have to let fresh air into the apartment sometimes....but I believe Smokey's reaction to "outside-ness" is another topic. (Oh God The Window's Open I Feel Wind Oh God Outside Is Gonna Come In And Get Me *cry, wail*) > Anyway, it sounds like turnabout is fair play.

Theresa Stinky Pictures: http://community.webshots.com/album/125591586JWEFwh My Blog: http://www.humanitas.blogspot.com mmmm ... rain. I remember rain. I rained here once, long, long ago! (Sydney is experience its worst drought since records began) Your picture of feline domestic bliss sounds wonderful. What are you reading? (if that's not intrusive). I'm reading Ursula Le Guin's "Always Coming Home" which, for me, is like a meditation in book form. Very serene and beautiful.

ALthough for me, the reality of cats in lap while attempting to read is anything but serene. Nina has adopted the true cat ethic which is "Mommy must NOT be permitted to read any book without my full and active participation. If I'm denied this, I will either poke at the book, or lie on it until she gives up." Ditto with reading in bed. Put a book down on the mattress, and Pan will obligingly come and lie on the open pates, and look at me lovingly. =o) Melissa >> It's raining steadily outside, and I'm sitting inside with a nice >> thick book.
