Okay, it's only been twenty minutes and I'm already desperate.

[apocalypsos]

Who wants to come over my house and let my cat sleep on their lap for a few hours? 'Cause he's been sitting here for a while now and isn't about to leave, and I've been trained over the last thirty years of my life that if a purring cat jumps into your lap and goes to sleep you just start petting and don't get up unless the house is on fire.

Aaaand now I'm wondering if there's some sort of addendum if the cat is on fire.

Oh, don't look at me like that. I'm not going to set Otis on fire.

On the other hand, he is purring and rubbing up against my corduroy jacket. He may just spontaneously combust before I can stop him.

... er, this is my first four-day weekend without the possibility of overtime in two months. Can you tell?

I know a song called "Never Set the Cat On Fire"...

...but that probably doesn't help, does it? No.

I have had to learn, with much pain and guilt-tripping from the mogs in question, that sometimes you just have to lift them off and put them on the floor, or somewhere else. It'll never be where they want to be, and there may be demands for dane-food (cat-geld?) but life is hard like that sometimes.

haha, my mom's little toy poodle TOTALLY thinks he's a cat. Sleeps on my mom's lap for HOURS and then goes adn sleeps in bed withher when she's ready.

He's ridiculous.
