Yesterday, my sister came to visit for an hour. Lily, who is happily greeting every visitor, wanted to jump into her lap, but my sister didn't want her. She said she had just visited a friend and had been holding the friend's baby for two hours, so she doesn't feel like having a cat on her lap now. Lily made three more tries, but was sent away each time.

I have to admit, I felt slightly upset because my cats are not used to be rejected that way! And it was easy to see that Lily was confused!

After a while, my sister got up to look out of the window, and my Lily didn't hesitate one second to take her seat. When my sister turned around and saw Lily sitting there, Lily looked at her and said something in her kitty language that definitely sounded like "neener neener neener": Good girl!!

BTW, the entire visit turned out to be very uncomfortable, as we found out we hadn't much to say to each other. And today, on Mother's Day when we were at my mother's place, it became even more obvious that we're living in two different worlds now, very frustrating...

Anyway, I have told Lily not to be too sad. I know that every Pet Talker who would ever come to visit would enjoy to have her on the lap!!
