Since it’s Friday, here’s a picture of my cat being rather into my fleece robe. I have a black fleece robe and she would curl up on it if it were on my bed or floor, or on me if I were wearing it, and I wasn’t sure if it was that her mother was black or made of polyethylene terephthalate.
So I bought a second fleece robe, in blue, and she kneeds and suckles it too, as you can see here. In fact, I’m wearing the robe right now and typing with one hand because the other arm is holding Shebang on my lap. You might suggest I just push the cat off me, but then you wouldn’t know that that’s a futile gesture given that my cat won’t go away when I’m dressed up like Mommy.
The only solution is to take off the robe and give it to the cat, but then I’m cold. And the cat does warm up my lap, so it’s best just to share.
(Update) Oh, and via Wednesday night’s episode of Countdown with Keith Olbermann, I heard this 3-years-old quote from Rush Limbaugh, about his cat:
I said that she’s a very smart cat. She gets fed. She gets petted. She gets caressed. She gets sheltered, all these things, and she doesn’t have to do anything for it. And then I said: This experience has been more valuable to me than anything else in learning about women.
Personally, I just think that’s valuable experience in learning about cats.
I’ve always been jealous of cats that can be comfy just about anywhere
Hmm… my cat kneads and suckles on the zig-zag afghan on my bed. Sure it’s wool, but it’s also green, white and brown… Makes me wonder about his parentage now.
Hi. They say what makes a cat suckle and drowl on dressing gowns and woolies is that they were taken away from their mom too early. Don’t know if it’s true or not but I HATE when they do that! I think it might be true tho. There IS no cure, unfortunately!
