Better late than never

Well, it's taken almost six years, but Toby is finally a lap cat! That's right  - for the first time today, he crawled on my lap and didn't just stand there; he finally sat, and then...wait for it... he curled up on my lap! He is actually sitting on my lap right now as I type this...wish I could show Jack because it's such a huge deal! But Jack is in the other room taking a nap (with the door closed), and if I move Toby might never curl up on my lap again. I guess Jack will just have to hear about it.

Oh how I love my cat. I know he can be crazy, but apparently time can change things!

I really think it's the ottoman that I have to thank for this. For the past few months, Toby and I have been fighting over this ottoman. I use it to sit on at the computer desk in our front room, and Toby loves to curl up on it. I swear he never used to love it like he does now. It's like he knows I want to sit on it, so it just makes him want to curl up on it even more. I kick him off the ottoman all the time, but sometimes I'll just barely sit on the edge of it and share it with him. Jack thinks the whole thing is pretty funny. Anyways, I think today Toby realized that the only way he was getting on the ottoman was to sit on my lap. Ha ha. Whatever it takes I guess.
