The cat only loves me for my yogurt
But it's awfully nice to have something to cuddle with first thing in the morning. Every morning, I settle into the same chair. I've fallen into the habit of watching the Today Show. And I thought REAL news was lowering my faith in humanity...
It never fails, shortly after sitting down, my roommate's cat will jump from her fish watching post and wander across the living room to my chair. And proceeds to jump up and nestle down in the small space between my leg and the arm of the chair. Sometimes she's intensely interested in what I type and paws across my thigh towards the keyboard. Sometimes she just lays there in a sleepy haze being petting. Sometimes, like when I have yogurt, she goes nuts and won't get her rump out of my way.
But it's nice to feel like I have a friend. Even if it's just for a snack.

I know what you mean, but my kitty is fed up with me needing to recross my legs every time one falls asleep and she can't very well sleep on my chest or in my arms while I'm typing so every time I pick her up, she squirms away and makes for the couch. Sigh. if only most of my job weren't on the computer.
My roommates cat used to hate me like water unless I was on the internet. Then she'd jump on my lap and watch the screen, occasionally standing up and putting her butt in my face. ah. I miss that butt.
Uh oh - are you a cat person now? :)
