Cat Forum / Cat Anecdotes / October 2004Pestiferous Chessie
Pestiferous as in particularly bothersome, teasing, persistent, demanding, inconvenient, etc - Chessie is absolutely determined to sit on me (any spot!) when I'm at the computer. Obedient slave that I am, it works 99 times out of 100 and on the rare occasions when persistence fails, she sits on the monitor with her tail sweeping across the screen like a windshield wiper. To be fair, I should add neither Chessie nor Nikki step on the keyboard, they carefully avoid it. I do a lot of volunteer genealogy lookups and the furkids "help". Am planning to add them to my own family history database and let future generations wonder...............Lorna (& the Chesniks) >Pestiferous as in particularly bothersome, teasing, persistent, demanding, >inconvenient, etc - Chessie is absolutely determined to sit on me (any [quoted text clipped - 6 lines] >planning to add them to my own family history database and let future >generations wonder...............Lorna (& the Chesniks) Here, it's LB who insists on helping when on the computer. Sammy is the one who has to go into the bathroom with me. She learned that it's the perfect "fetch stadium". Reason being that if I'm on the throne I can toss the cap clear across the bedroom (assuming the bathroom door is open, of course). So, if I take a seat, she usually shows up carrying a cap, which I throw over the bed next to the window. She flies across the room, up across the bed, and dives over the far side. Of course this sometimes causes problems, as the bedroom window is south facing, and a prime sunny nap spot. On more than one occasion I've tossed the cap, Sammy dives over the far side of the bed, and LB has to take evasive action by darting under the bed. When that happens, LB comes and sits on the near side of the bed where she can give me a death glare, before heading in to nap by the patio glass door.

Lorna, Chessie & Nikki Hmm, now that I think of it, Stinky is hardly *ever* on the floor.;) Except at night when he is chasing greeblings and mousies-- or when I do yoga, and he jumps down to show me how to do it right. ;) Theresa Stinky Pictures: http://community.webshots.com/album/125591586JWEFwh My Blog: http://www.humanitas.blogspot.com > Pestiferous as in particularly bothersome, teasing, persistent, demanding, > inconvenient, etc - Chessie is absolutely determined to sit on me (any [quoted text clipped - 6 lines] > planning to add them to my own family history database and let future > generations wonder...............Lorna (& the Chesniks) Smokey "helps" with the home renovations. Cali used to help with the renos in her younger days. She would follow me everywhere, dare I say almost d*g like. Then she decided I wasn't so special after all. :) |
