    When I'm on line, Bob often wobbles his way over and gazes up at me until I pick him up and put him on my lap. (He can't manage the jump himself, and if he were to climb he'd have to dig his nails into my thigh.. no thanks!)

    Then he sits there and checks up on me as I read mail, check PT, look at other web sites, and so on..

    Lavinia comes and sits on the table next to the computer, so she can do the same observations. She's also real good about getting up and exploring the table top and in the process pushing things OFF the table with her feet!

    Pearl is mine. She loves to sit on my lap while I'm on the computer.

    Only if I'm on the netbook, not the PC in the office, do I have company. Pinot is in my lap, and the netbook is on the side table, it works. I have to relate what happened last night, though...

    I was modifying two recipes on the netbook to make dinner last night; I had it on the island in the kitchen, kept referring as needed. Pinot will often supervise my kitchen activities from the island, but I don't usually work with the computer in there. At one point, I had my back turned for a bit while working on the stove, I turned around and Pinot was SITTING ON THE KEYBOARD - looking right at me. First, I burst out laughing, then I looked at the screen - no worries, able to get everything back to normal. I think she was trying to tell me it was HER island.

    Yes!

    Here's my computer buddy (and TV buddy, nap buddy, shower buddy.. ), the problem is that she leaves me with only one hand to type... but I don't mind, in fact, I miss her when she's not around when I'm working

    Awww, Sophie is just too sweet!


    I was going to post this in the ICHC thread, but thought it would work here:


    Zoe likes to be on my lap for a while when I am sitting at the computer. She is small enough! Oscar, although he is at a good weight, is still a BIG cat, and settles for my cluttered desktop, blocking my view of the monitor and wanting to give headbumps!
