Writing with Cats

 
My two mews...being petted on the desk is one of their great pleasures (mine too). And sleeping on the very notebook that I'm writing in a special joy...to them. They are the best distractions and also the best motivators because unlike other cats I've had who were total lapcats, these two keep at an arm's length except on my desk. It seems to be a safe space for them and if I'm feeling catless (while watching a movie or reaching a book) all I need to do is go to my office. Jules follows me in a flash. Benny too, though after his pets he'll settle down near my feet with Sunny. Let's just say I'm always motivated to write :) Every writer should have such companions.

I'm wondering *how* or *if* I will be able to first-draft my next MG with our new scriber-in-fluff, i.e. Nougat. She seems to take my fingers on the keyboard as cue for coming on board.

Haha!!! My other cats used to attack me while typing. It's like they want to type themselves!!! Eventually though even the typists settle down after a good rub, no?

So far, no settling for settling down. But the day is young.

Oh my! You do have a Nougat on your hands!
