Ron from Saint Louis, United States
So sweet, Betty ... love the crossed paws. As I'm sitting here writing this to you, my cat, Rascal, (which found us last winter just before we had to euthanize our 13-year-old beagle/corgi mix) is sitting here on my lap. This is the only time of day she will entertain the option of sitting in my lap ... always on her terms!! They are such a joy!

@Ron: So sorry about your dog... I know how hard that is. Thunder, my other cat, only wants to be on my lap when I'm sitting at the computer! It's had to type comments then! Thank you for your comment, Ron.
@paulski: Thank you.

I love this photo! Wish I could catch one of my two cats in a similar pose. Mine are more like dogs...they want to be on my lap every chance they get.
