I've never understood this when I've heard d*g people complain about cats
this way.

Fred and I can't do anything without both boys hanging around either
intently watching or placing themselves between us and whatever we're trying
to do.

Lastnight on the dining room table where both are computers are set up, we
each had a cat sitting observing our monitors and asking for skritches.
While putting Jane to bed, both cats showed up and purred and cuddled at the
foot of her bed.  Later, the kids had gone to bed and Fred and I were
sitting talking at the kitchen table.  Both cats appeared, sat on the table,
and just seemed to want to be near us.

Lastnight, for the third night in a row, I had Otis on my ankles and woke up
to find a fluffy *Chester* in my arms as I snored away.

Standoffish, yeah right!  Velcro might be a better way to describe it ...
