Ghlaghghee in the Way

Picture from Hometown

See, now, this used to be cute: Ghlaghghee would sit in the space right in front of my keyboard and I would sort of use her as a wrist rest as I typed. But now she's growing in leaps and bounds and she's just too darn unweildly for wrist rest duty. Also, now she likes to rest her head on my mouse arm. I mean, sure, it's still cute. But it's also bound to cause carpal tunnel. We're going to have to work something out.

I'm just throwing this picture out there for all of you who have been sending me e-mail asking for more pictures of the cat. You people are true fans, I have to say. Too bad she's not sentient, to soak up the adolation.

For those of you who simply could not care one way or another about this cat or her sitting habits, allow me to provide you this link: Floraphilia, featuring some absolutely stunning pictures of some truly gorgeous flowers. I wish my garden looked this good.

    That pic of you with your daughter kissing you is right up there with the cutest pictures in the world. Blow it up and put it on her bedroom wall and write. Daddy loves his baby! She'll feel so special forever!

    Love the tail on that cat, and the size. Reminds me of Boris, who passed on earlier this year.

    Natasha, my orange tabby, doesn't have that much room, but she'll jump on my desk and try to climb into my lap, even when there's only a narrow space between my stomach and the desk edge. It takes a couple pushes before she huffily settles down under the desk lamp behind my laptop, where she can block the cooling fan.

    I love your kitty! She is beautiful. I too have a nice cat that sits by me but not on me as I discouraged him I guess but he comes and keeps me company either looking out the window or relaxing in a comfortable chair ~ cats sure know how to enjoy life don't they.

    I had to laugh when I saw the pic of your cat! My cat does the same thing every time I am on the computer. She'll come and sit right in front of the keyboard until I open the window for her or give her some attention!
