Backstory
- Julie
- Pennsylvania, United States
- I'm currently a stay at home mother, freelance writing on my off time, wondering how I became part of the ten thousand year old tradition of raising the kids while creating textiles. I grew up in NE Ohio dairy country, married a sailor, lived in Hawaii ten years, lived in SC for five years, then moved back to culture shock and confusion. Nothing but good times ahead.

She's being a good kitty and keeping your seat warm!

Hi Julie-
I just finished reading your archives and you do keep me smiling!
I have a few questions, but first, in regards to 2 posts back, Scientific American Frontiers on PBS had a great show that sounds quite similar to what Louiz was referencing:
http://www.pbs.org/saf/1406/index.html
You can just see her thinking, "Warm spot, lovely," -- it's in the little thought balloon over her head.
I hope she types a post for us.

Aw. Why don't you get your own chair instead of cursing at her? :p
At least you can kick her out without her whining or crying or stomping her feet or asking for a drink of OJ. She's a cat, not a kid, thankfully. ;) I'm always booting ours out of my seat.
But they are loving creatures. She just loves your butt warmth.
haha
