Me too, Pam! I can't bear to get up if my cat is nice and comfy-cozy in my lap. I'd feel like I was being rude to her! Also, if the phone rings and kitty's in my lap, I often let the answering machine pick up! Now that's pretty bad. I hate to admit to people when I call them back that, sorry, I WAS home, I just had a cat in my lap and I couldn't get to the phone!
