happyThis morning, Lilly pulled her usual trick of putting her front paws on my thigh and looking at me beseechingly until I pushed back from the desk, then jumping into my lap, where she sat sphynx-style, leaned against me, and buried her head in the crook of my arm. It's amazing how good I've become at typing while she does that. Entire chapters have been written around the purring water hazard that is my Siamese.
Lilly can recognize the opening themes to The West Wing, Haven, Fringe, and Doctor Who; any of these songs will bring her running, as she knows they're a guarantee that I'm about to sit still for an hour. She hasn't learned to read yet, so she doesn't bring me those specific DVDs when she's trying to encourage me to spend some time on the couch, but she brings me other DVDs (and a much wider assortment now that she has Alice to help her get things down). Again, disturbingly smart cat.
Lilly is sweet, friendly, and relatively calm most of the time, which means she doesn't get as much "air time" as Alice, who is much pushier (and puffier). But Lilly is one of the best cats I've ever known. And yes, she's named after Lilly Kane.
I just felt the need to share that.

I've been at my parent's house this week, which is nice because my cat is there. Beau follows me around the house, although he does the "I will pause and be about a minute behind you so you think it's MY idea." He will chirrup at me when I talk to him and he stares at me with very wise green eyes when I talk to him. I tell him he is the most beautiful boy, my little fuzzy-man, and he's the very best cat.
I really miss him when I'm not here. :(

I'm sorry. :(
