Mitzi bought me a new computer about two months ago... and the token feline units have fallen in love with it!! Both of 'em! In fact, it's become a bit of a rivalry to see who gets it for the night!

Normally, Reina comes in, stretches on the chair and meows, "Human, pick me up!" I'll put her in my lap and she'll go to sleep. When I get ready to move elsewhere, I'll gently lift her up and lay her in the chair where she'll stay until Mitzi goes to bed. Last night, however, the Queen of Meow didn't show as normal so when I got up to go get ready for work, the chair was vacant...but not for long. At some point in time, Tabby jumped up and was snoozing quite peacefully. I looked around and Reina was meatloafed in the corner and positively glaring at the intruder in her chair. I swear, she was staring at Tabby as if to say 'You dirty son-of-a d*g!' Of course, Tabby, snoozing quite peaceably, was quite unaware of Reina's animosity!

On the brighter side of things, the gang has figured out when I come home in the wee hours. When I roll into the driveway, I can see two bright, shiny, and furry faces staring out the window and waiting for me! (Waiting because, I suspect, they are both social eaters and need ME to escort them to the food bowl and stand guard while they pig out!)
