The painting of the livingroom is in progress, and I had both cats shut
in my bedroom, with what I thought was all their necessities - food, water,
litterbox, scratching post, and toys. But there was one thing missing -
*me*. I've been in my office, on the computer, or doing chores in the
kitchen, or out running an errand. And Miss Roxy has not been happy about
that. She wanted to get out of the bedroom and actually meowed to be let
out! (She never does this.)

So finally, I took her out of the bedroom and brought her into the
computer room with me, and she's been curled up in my arms purring ever
since. She just wanted company!! Apparently Licky doesn't cut it.

PS - when the painter put the first bit of paint on the wall, I was
aghast. I thought it was going to be a warm, glowing golden yellow-orange
color, but instead it was BRIGHT! YELLOW!! Yikes. I would've needed
sunglasses to go in the room with that color on the wall! So I took the
gallon of paint back to the paint store and had them re-mix it to a less
garish color. It's looking much better now. Whew!
