Subj : Re: New lurker in the echo To : Heather Lennox From : Patrick Vittori Date : Mon Aug 18 2003 10:42 pm -=> Quoting Heather Lennox to Patrick Vittori <=- Afternoon Heather, PV> floor) Now we have this ritual we go through. I'm working on PV> the computer, he meows, and I automatically reach over with PV> my left hand and give him a pat so he can eat. Ok, I know, PV> I'm _well_ trained. :) HL> Yep... he sure likes having you as his pet. Mine has me trained... HL> if she wants her tummy tickled, she rolls over onto her back, stares HL> at me and goes "Yea"... as in "Here". /sigh/ I'm learning that my cat is a _very_ social animal. Its either -that-, or he's instituted a "cover fee" for everyone who comes in the door. His fav perch is on the pillow I rest my head on whenever I find time to sleep. Since the pillow is right inside the doorway, whenever someone walks through the door Rats rolls over on his back and exposes his chin and belly for a 'good rub'. New visitors just stare at him until I explain the act. Repeat visitors rub his chin/belly without even thinking about it. :) PV>> Meow, HL>> PV> /hides fav catnip toy/ HL> /nudges cat biscuts forward. pours a cup of catnip tea..../ Pat & =^..^= .... #^..^# - ASCII of a cat who slept too close to the heater. --- EzyBlueWave/2 V2.01b001 00F90258 * Origin: Rats' Place.
