Is that 'mundane' or 'boring'?

I had a thought just now for all the cat owners on the flist who always post about the antics of their cats; The Parents are away this week and I've been enrolled to take care of our dog - who lives at the parental unit's. So every morning I go to their place - forget about sleeping in anymore - let her out, keep her company, and every late afternoon, I do the same - my friends mock me a lot this week because it's like I have an insanely early curfew 'I must be back at 6.30 PM, guys! Don't laugh, it's for my dog!' *pout*

Anyway, there's this cat, Cookie, who was adopted by the neighbours and who, apparently, adopted us in return. He's always at our place, meowing like mad whenever he thinks we're not paying enough attention to him. And he had to be in dire need of attention this morning because I saw him run like the wind in the street when he saw me and, yes, when I arrived at the door, here he was, waiting for me to let him in. Then he just stuck to me like glue and now I have a lapful of purring cat. I never owned a cat so I'm not used to them and, wow, they're mad purring machines sometimes, aren't they?

Jodie, our dog, is looking at me all 'wtf, dude, you have a cat on your lap, this is so wrong!' but she's laid back enough - sometimes - that she doesn't feel like giving him the Glare of Doom.

I'm just lazying around in the house then I'll go back to my place, do my stuff. And the sis is taking my turn this evening so, joy, I won't have to get back early \o/ Small pleasures and all that :-)

And I'm using this icon because I've read the latest news about Asylum and I'm trying to tell the universe that I'm still waiting for some bigger names *hint hint*

Cats can indeed be purring machines. We always have problems when we take the one in my icon to the vet because he can't hear her heart over the purring!

Lol I guess that would be problematic... though very cute, too.

That's why we love 'em. If if they do have a tendency to puke on freshly laundered bedding, the purrs make it all worth it!

The power of the purr is mighty if it makes the 'puking on freshly laundered bedding' worth it lol

Aww, Cookie seems to be just like my brother's cat. A needy little fur ball! lol

I took the day off today, just like that. J'ai l'impression de faire l'école buissonière! lol

Are you saying posts about cats are boring? ;)

That cat that's adopted you sounds lovely though.

Lol You know how it is, everything under the sun is always boring to those not interested ;-)

I think he's a bit of a drama queen... but that can be cute too *g*

The purring is one of the really wonderful things about cats!

I'll admit it was very nice *nods* I heard somewhere that cats' purring was good for people's health? Like, it calms them down? I can totally see it.
