Cat Blogging

I've already had requests for more cat posts. You people are *sooo* predictable.

Rent-a-cat has been steadily becoming more at home here, and that naturally means more presumptuous, more demanding, and more in the way. He likes to sit wherever it was I was last sitting, so when working I can't get up to pee without him sitting on my desk chair and trying to act like I'm the one inconveniencing him.

At night, rent-a-cat likes to check in on me every hour or two to make sure that I'm okay. He sneaks right up to my face then makes a single loud meow so that I jump. Then he goes back to sleep on the chair.

During the day, he often helps me work. He does this by jumping on the desk and walking over the keyboard. He also helps gather office supplies- he pulls thumbtacks out of the wall that hold up my calendar and other items, leaving them drop onto the floor, then chews on the tacks in the living room.

The rest of the time he rotates between napping on his chair, chasing a tennis ball back and forth across the room, and trying to climb up things while knocking off the things that may be setting on top of those things.

One more month, rent-a-cat. One more month.
