Cats are the best writing pals

 My cat is a creative genius and a comedian. 

In case you didn't know, now you do.

She's also 100% certain that if it's warm and I'm looking at it, it's where she belongs. Which, of course means she thinks my laptop is her bed. Add that it's a touch screen, and this means interesting editorial changes, compliments of Angel.

It also means all I have to do if I want to summon her is get involved in a scene. Then she's full on ready for snuggle time.

So here is to all the feline writing companions, keeping their worshiping would-be writers on their toes and full of cuddles.  

Aloha Friday: Pets?

Sayin' Aloha tot he Aloha Friday phenomenon. On the islands, or so they say, people like to take it easy on Friday, so here goes.

When Snapdragon was born, I got all paranoid about the cats who like to sleep on my face and the fact that they were going to be both bigger and sharper than the baby. Since then they've been living mostly in the garage. Don't worry, Spouse sleeps out there too *, and yes, it's insulated, heated, cooled, and no longer used as a garage. Should I call it the family room? It's supposed to be being turned into one... just that transformation is really, really, r-e-a-l-l-y s--l--o--w.

So here's my question. Do you have pets, and if you do, did you make any changes regarding them when you had kids?
