Insistent Cats

Well, just one cat in particular -- Goober. He seems to need to be around me at all times: if he lets me out of his sight, he thinks I'll disappear forever. If I'm reading or watching TV or a movie, this isn't so bad. It's kinda nice to have a warm cat curl up in your lap and purr. However if I've got the laptop open and I'm trying to type, Goober still insists on trying to crawl onto my lap ... or at least part way onto the computer keyboard. I'm still not sure how to completely fix this problem if I have the computer open on my lap. But if it's open on the kitchen table, I seem to have hit on a solution: polar fleece. I folded my polar fleece scarf on the table beside the computer and, after sniffing at it, he completely crashed on it and started purring. Yay! The cat's happy and I can still type.

Update: Jon came in shortly after I posted this and snapped a photo of me blogging with Goober nearby. If you look closely, you can see the scarf that he's sleeping on. Look even closer and you may be able to tell what's playing on the iPod!
