I think my cat is looking at me with pity.

Not a good sign: assigning complex human emotions to long-haired domesticated felines.  But seriously, she keeps looking at me with her big green eyes, and I think she’s encouraging me to get a life.  Or at least stop wearing my woolly hat indoors long after I’ve come in from the cold.  But if I remove it, my hair will become static-y and my head will lose all its heat.

Maybe she just feels bad for me because I’ve yet to procure a kitchen table and I’m eating my breakfast at my desk, which is a step up from eating it on the couch, but she is actually convinced that eating from a plate on the floor is posh.

Or maybe she’s just laughing at me because I spent a few hours sweeping and mopping my floors yesterday and she’s 1) already covered it with hair and 2) noticed that I accidentally stepped one muddy boot on the shiny clean hardwood when I stumbled in the door just now.

But possibly she’s just better than me because I’m willing to stoop so low as to clean her poop out of a box and she knows she’s got me.

In reality, I just realized she’s jealous of my woolly hat and wants to play with the tassels.

    Ha!

    I have any of these same thoughts about my kid. However, he doesn’t shed all over our house, which is a nice perk.

    Your cat sure does give you a lot to think about.

    You wear your hat inside? You do realize most apartments these days come with thermostats, right?

    I wear my hat inside sometimes. It’s that whole cheap with the energy bill thing. And, the stranger I look at home, the less I make up unnecessary excuses to leave the house when I should be working. :)

    i’m going to continue believing that there is totally nothing wrong with eating on the couch.

    I eat most of my dinners on my living room floor, so I’ll totally buy your cat’s theory that eating on the floor is posh. Not that I should take lifestyle cues from a cat. Then again, maybe I should. Cats do have that nap thing, after all…
