30 Days of Christmas Day 23: A Happy Pet
Those of you who keep track of me might recall that about a month
ago, my cat decided she needed to sleep on the computer desk, between me
and the screen. It made her happy, but me not so much, since she'd playfully reach down every once
in a while and swipe a claw at my swift-moving fingers. Someone suggested I bring a second chair to
the computer desk and make it hers. At first she wasn't sure (note the
look on her face).
It took a procession of pillows and blankets before I found one that suited her, and I had to block the chair so it doesn't swivel and make her feel insecure. Now she spends most of the day there, even if I get up to do something else.
Of course, there's a caveat. I have to lift her onto the chair. If I'm not around, she gets up there just fine, but if I'm working, I have to listen to her cry until I stop typing and settle her in.
So today's topic: What makes your pet most happy? Is it a place? A treat? Something you do?

| Okay, I guess this is good |
