SKEETER:
Well, I'm gettin confoosed! Ayla came here 4 Big Moons ago. She's been followin me around efrywhere, an I try ta put up wif it mostly. I'm flatterred, but it does get a bit much sometimes.
One of the differnces between LC an me is that I get up on The Big Thing's lap and she doesn't (jus likes to sit near us). An Ayla has been honoring my place on The Big Thing's lap. Even when I dont feel like sittin up there, no one else does either. That's my territory, ya know?
Well, it musta been somethin about her 11th-month day. Ayla suddenly changed. Yeah, I mean like a light switch! Just changed suddently! One day she was walkin over The Big Thing ta get ta tables an bookshelves, and the nex, she was sittin onna floor askin ta come up. On his lap. What is MY place!!!
Ooooooooh, he snapped his fingers like he does ta me, an suddenly, she decided ta hop right up unlike all before times! And curled up and purred all crazy-like. I was stunned. Why's she suddenly start doin that? An ya know what she did that night? Do ya? She crept unner the covers in bed! ALL NIGHT!!! How'd she efen breath unner there that long?
OK, I gotta admit, The Big Thing been sittin longer inna chair and invitin me up too. An I still like it there. But he's not like "MINE" exclusively annymore sittin inna chair. I'm not used ta sharin him. I've ALWAYS been the "lap" kittie.
[Skeeter, you've always been my lap-kitty, and you always will be. But Ayla wants a little time too. She is just watching what you do and trying to fit in. She ADMIRES everything you do]
Well, yeah, but I dont want her on yer lap. That's MY lap.
[There is room enough for two, Skeeter, if you would just stop hissing at her. And she isn't up here all the time.]
Well, I'm confoosed. I want things liked they used ta be. I mean, I like Ayla OK, and all, and she likes me, but I'm
well,
um,
jealous...
[Skeeter, you are the best cat there ever was. You are my favorite cat ever. But you can't tell LC or Ayla that. It's a secret. Now c'mon up on my lap an I'll scritch you into purring oblivion for a while.]
Well, OK. You mean it, right?
[Yes Skeeter, I mean it]
(Skritch, skritch, skritch.... puuuuuurrrrrrrrr)
The Big Thing: It is getting a little "interesting" here. Ayla has suddenly started meezing to me, showing interest in laptime, and suddenly wanted "undercovers" time. I think she has learned from Skeeter how to relate to me, and Skeeter is regretting it. LC is "closely aloof" and that works. Ayla suddenly seems to be adapting Skeeter's way of relating to me.
I think I am going to be busy attending to 2 cats who want the same types of attention... Wish me well, kitties, that I manage to do it right by both of them...

It took me a long while to warm up to my human. Once I did I was became what she terms a pest and what I term lightly affectionate. Of course I am a lap hog and a bed hog. I am sure that being a meezer Ayla will be that way too!
Oh Big Thing - I'd say you better manage to do it right by both of them or you will have the whole CB come over and bit you! Hahahha

Hey guys. Sorry you are having problems with our email. As far as know, it works. We would still like to send you the money that we owe you for the auction. Since you already paid, is there a way we can pay you back?
Love,
Opus and Roscoe
We think everything will work out. We love to both curl up together on Mom's lap. Sometimes it takes some working out who gets to sleep where exactly on the nap, but we do work it out.

It sounds likes Ayla worships you and wants to do everyfurry thing you's do Skeeter. I's be flattered too but a bit jealous too. It's greats that she looks up to you's so much!
Don't worry Skeeter, it may be just a passing phase. Or maybe the Big Thing can grow a bigger lap?

Sounds familiar...luckily I'm NOT a lap cat. But Kaze and Latte both do fit in a lap with a bit of whapping at times. Kaze sleeps every night under the covers.....crazy.

Skeeter, I don't know if I'd allow that. It was your lap first. If you share, make sure BT keeps it even!
Tyler's mom here: Lately Cookie has been comming in the living room and lying on my left side of my arm chair. Well, that is Kali's spot. She's an old lady with old bones and she con no longer sleep comfortably ON me. It has to be on my armchair and of course she only will settle for the LEFT side. Now Tyler has always been on my lap or above my head. But now the kittens (I just call them the kittens, even though they're one year old now) want in on the action. If any space is open on my lap or above my head they are there. Which causes a lot of problems when the others show up asking for their usual seats. So I guess I'm trying to say be thankful you only have the two asking for your lap. I think it's good for Skeeter to learn to share. Hope they work it out quickly.
Hugs to all of you from all of us in Fierce Bonnie's honor.
