Pics: desk cats

Wow! She looks like a kitten! I thought you were going to say 9 months
old or something. Hope I look that good when I reach the human equivalent
in age.


She kept her baby face and kittenish looks all her life. The photo was
taken in October 2004, so she was 16 years old, actually.

A couple of years ago, when I exchanged my PC for a laptop, I figured I
could make do with a much smaller desk, and so have more space in my
home. So I bought a small antique desk at an auction. The big old desk
went into my compartment in the basement. Now, with Caliban lounging and
filling the whole small desk space, and me sometimes trying to write
stuff by hand where there was really no room for the notebook, or
checking theses on the cramped desk space, etc, I decided to bring back
the big desk (actually, my wonderful sister did most of the carrying).
The room is more cramped, but now I can do stuff at my desk! And the
cats are happy - even Miranda has taken to lounging on the desk. I
odered one of those cylindrical cat trees with cubby holes to put on one
corner of the desk, but until it arrives, they will have to make do with
a box.

Here's Miranda, enjoying the glow of the desk lamp:

Caliban lounging - now he can stretch out full length without pushing
things off the desk:

Try telling a cat "No, lie on the bed, this is MY work surface" if the
desk is where they decide to be. =o) Nina likes to drape herself over
my left forearm and then look up at me with this cute, innocent "try
to type NOW, fool!" look on her face. Francecsca will come over for
a lady like visit and sit on the desk to my left. But she can be
really insistent with her afffectionate "pay attention to ME" head
butts. =o)
