Flutterby™! : cat and mouse

One of our cats, Spirit, is dying. He's been losing a lot of weight, the vet diagnosed it as an untreatable cancer, and so we're making his last days as comfortable as we can. He's become an extremely picky eater, so we offer him a variety, including fresh chicken livers, pet grade canned tuna, similar stuff and surprisingly I think this smorgasboard is actually cheaper than regular commercial cat foods.

At any rate, he's been sitting on my lap a lot recently. Sometimes, when he feels like he's not getting something from me, he'll progress up on to the keyboard (which is great if I'm doing sysadmin work and trying to come up with a password), and then settle down on the clear spot where I (normally) mouse.

Right now he's taken over my usual chair, so I've rolled it away from the keyboard and am sitting on another one. (Our) Cats are so spoiled.
