Piper is my cat. I'm sure you have seen her in my previous posts. As a kitten, she just wasn't very cuddly. She didn't really want to lay in my lap or even next to me. She was content to lounge across from us on the ottoman. I so wanted her to be a lap cat but she just wasn't having it. And then the change happened. Ever since she has hit...um, puberty, she has been so needy. Following me around from room to room, meowing at my feet as if there was something I needed to do for her. Now she always jumps up on the couch while I'm working on the computer and makes a nest in my lap. When I say "makes a nest" I mean she kneads. Yes, she kneads my stomach. It does not make me feel all that great because there is a bit of cush {that I can hopefully get rid of soon} that has formed there in my one year of marriage. It gets to be a real annoyance, but then she finally will plop down, fold her arms in front of her and look up at me with squinted eyes as if indicate that it is "juuuuust right." And then there are some days when this happens:
{Please excuse the strange pasted look. It is not easy taken a picture of yourself from above with a 50mm lens. Haha}

How is a person supposed to work in these conditions??
And here is Miss Piper sitting very pretty in the window sill watching the rain.

As annoying as she can be sometimes, we love our kitty cat. :)
