The Cat Who Hogs the Computer

I’ve been trying to use the computer all day, but my blogging buddy has monopolized it for his own purposes. I really should not have allowed Alex to have his own blog!

Actually, this photo was taken yesterday, a day filled with activities for me. So much so that I don’t know when Alex hopped on the computer and turned it on. I know that I turned it off after posting the Too Bad It’s Monday jokes.

No matter what Alex may say on his blog, writing was not the purpose for which he nested on the computer. I believe it was because Tasha, my VA supplied housekeeper, and I were working in the kitchen where Alex’s favorite nesting and napping spot—beside the heat register—is located. The computer was another warm spot and Alex took advantage of it.

All of yesterday’s activities fatigued both Alex and I. Thus we spent most of today napping. I rather hope that doesn’t lead to both of us being awake all night.

  4. haha - Good old Alex! It's so funny how certain things trigger memories and sometimes the trail is very feint! This reminded me of how my daughter used to go to sleep when I put her little baby chair on top of the washing machine.
    Oh and Nick-napping and cat-napping sounds good to me! :o)

  6. Nick, this is absolutely adorable! You should take some video footage and put it on Youtube. People love this stuff!

    I just wanted to say thank you- for your support and encouragement and words of wisdom. You're one of the people I wrote about today.

  17. Well, Rev Saint, is Alex hogging the computer the cause of you taking a day or two to respond to my emails? Just teasing; I know you still have that “damnably slow” Internet connection.

  18. Alex the computer geek! Heheh! He won't like me for that, I bet.

    Loved your jokes...I remember the one about the mailman from ages ago, only it was a milkman and the wife said something a bit more profane then "screw"!

  25. My first cat, "Z", used to jump up on my chest when ever I was laying on the couch with my laptop in my lap. He didn't seem to like that I was giving the computer more attention than him.

    Now of course, with his playmate, Scrappers, he pretty much ignores me when I am typing.

    Later
