Oh that Black Cat.

I've mentioned before that I strongly suspected the Black Cat of ringing the door chimes just to get me to get up and play with him. He appears to now be expanding his repertoire.

He ran the door chime again this morning, and when I got up to let him out he dashed back into the living room and looked at me. O.K., so I shut the door, and am walking back towards my chair, and he dashes off into the hallway. Starting to suspect something, I follow him. Sure enough, he's at the foot of the stairs. *Now* I'm certain I know what he's up to, so I start upstairs. He wants someone to snuggle with on the bed. Sure enough, as soon as I'm up a stair or two, he zips past me and is waiting there on the bed as I come in. Silly kitty.

We have a snuggle and he settles in beside my head, just like we were going off to sleep, purring madly. Sadly, I'm not a kitty cat, and I have stuff to get done instead of sleeping all afternoon. (So instead of working on all that stuff, I'm typing this. Go figure. ;-)
