refuses to get down off my lap. I think I wore her out all year with my anger and cursing. I get up and down a lot while working, and she clings to my lap with her claws.
I tell her, "You're a cat and I am a human. I win." But, while she doesn't appear to be ill, she is sleeping soundly all day and most of the night, choosing my lap as her bed. It feels all right. I don't mind, but I feel guilty when I have to dislodge her.
Anyone who thinks that animals don't have emotions should hear this cat with her cat noises. I admit I can be guilty of projecting a human-like quality onto my animals, but this cat has called me a few names today. And, yesterday.
Plus, she now wants to eat my coffee cup pancakes. After a lifetime of meat and gravy products, she now competes for my food.
What is happening?? I hope my general demeanor can pick up after January 20th, when we are safe again. Maybe I dragged her down as we shared the last four years.
My gosh! I just remembered! I have catnip bubbles! I know catnip works on her. Since the CBD I tried had absolutely no effect on me, I wonder if she would mind if I tried her catnip?
Maybe--if llamas can have effective antibodies--the catnip bubbles might protect me? Worth trying...
