So today I decided to look at things from a cat’s eye view.
Mish has a routine (one of many) where he gets up from his morning/afternoon nap and the first thing he does is want to take another nap while I serve as a cat bed. He gets annoyed if the computer is in my lap where he belongs. Cats are very good at giving humans dirty looks. 🙂
Anyway yesterday I was doing my physical therapy exercises on the floor when Mishkin awoke from the first long nap of the day. He stretched, walked across the TV stand, halted in front of Dan’s computer screen so he could be admired momentarily, and then went to the couch where he looked for me. He looked confused when I wasn’t immediately visible and sitting where I belong when he gets up from First Nap.
I’m assuming he could see me on the floor… but maybe not.
After looking around a bit and not seeing me, aka the cat bed, he suddenly spied me on the floor 18 inches away from the couch. You could just see him say to himself, “Well there she is!” and he sauntered over to me, purring loudly, and climbed on top of my lap and proceeded to try to take his second nap. It didn’t work well because I was doing other things besides sitting still. But from his perspective it all worked fine until it came time for me to do bridge exercises at which point his cat bed dumped him off. How rude!
