Kitty on desk
Monday, January 31st, 2005
The Kitty, who is arthritic and losing her ability to walk wanted up. What can you say? So, up she came. Once she settled in she knocked everything loose on the desk, on the floor and then spread out over my taxes which I was in the middle of staring at (with nothing happening).
I figured if I couldn’t crunch numbers I might as well crunch some pixels so out came the camera, off came the Stomp-shooting 28-135 and on went the sharp-as-a-tack 50mm portrait lens for a fashion shoot.
The cat was a willing subject, continuing to shift position as if to ask me “how’s this one, sexy enough?” By the time the shoot was over all pens and paper clips were scattered on the floor and the tax papers looked like a fur coat. And, it’s pretty wintery and dry here so the static is extreme so the hair is not coming off. The accountant is gonna love this…
Your Kitty like my dog, Susie, knows what is best for us; she’s the one who made me take breaks when I was slaving away planning TRLD conferences. I found myself either petting her or going outside to toss a ball…or just sit in the sun watching the fish in my backyard pond. We’re healthier (mentally and physically) because of our animals.
I agree totally. This particular animal rules the roost and there’s nothing to be done about it. She can hardly walk but when she wants up on my desk to make a mess, guess who lifts her up and think’s it’s cute when she knocks pens on the floor? Right. Kinda makes one wonder who the pet is in this relationship?
