The three of them collaborated and decided it was my bedtime last night,
with Ding and Rhonda running back and forth from my chair to the stairs,
looking over their shoulders.

Mr. Clark, however, was much more dignified. He sat next to the
computer, and managed to look much like the statue in the Lincoln
Memorial, looking deep inside.

Unfortunately, he sat on a notebook not quite up to his weight, and I
watched, in fascination, as they both tilted until he slid onto the
floor, in a sitting pose until a microsecond before contact.

When I got to bed, he resumed the supervisory pose, purring loudly,
until I turned off the light. He then climbed onto my hip, sighed,
groomed me a bit, and went to sleep.

ROFL!! I am sorry for laughing at Mr. Clark; but I can't help it when
I imagine him and the notebood slowly sliding down! What good kitties
you have.

Isn't it funny when they "think it's time for bed, young lady!". Pearl and
Sugar are most unhappy if I stay up too late. You would think they wanted
food the way they come and staaare at me. But they just want me to go to
bed!

What a doll.

Did you ever see that old Star Trek episode, "Mirror, Mirror," where
there was a parallel universe in which almost everyone had an evil
counterpart (Spock was sort of neutral)? Mr. Clark is rather like a
good mirror of Garfield.

17+ pounds when last checked, orange, unmercifully grooms every
available two- and four-legged person available (2- and 4-legged kittens
preferred). With a martyred look, let the two kittens adopted with him
nurse on him, and let Ding ride horseback on him.

Although he is almost always calm and loving, I still wonder about one
incident. I was in bed, Rhonda on one side and Mr. Clark on the other.
She was chattering and trilling away. Suddenly, she made a somewhat
unusual sound. His ears went back, his tail lashed, he stood up,
hissed, reached out a paw, and batted her three feet across the bed.

I wonder WHAT she said?

LOL! Trying to keep his cool whatever happens. Captain going down with
his sinking ship. Go, Mr Clark!
