Procrastination, and snoring cats

Check out our sluggo cat, Carmen. This is where she spends 80% of her day. She lives on this computer monitor. Luckily, this is the kid's computer, my new monitor is thinner and she can't fit on it anymore. I was constantly having to push an errant foot or tail off the screen so I could see what I was doing.

As you can see.... she's pretty relaxed. She sleeps so soundly up there she's been known to fall off. Sometimes off the monitor onto the desk, off the desk onto the piano bench, and off the piano bench onto the floor before she wakes up. Then she just shakes her head, looks a little embarrased, and hops back up.

It's a good thing she's "fixed".... because if she ever reproduced I know her kittens would have three eyes or something from all the radiation she must be absorbing. It can't be good for her... but she won't listen to reason. Come to think of it, I'm sure it's not too good for the monitor, with her up their clogging up the vents with her furry fatness. Hmmm, maybe that's why the screen had been flickering between a white and pink background for the last couple of weeks.

I think when I replace the monitor I'll check into a flat panel... is that mean? What would she do, where would she go all day?

Yesterday I caught her snoring. Little soft kitty snores. Yep - it's a cat's life.

So, Jeanie tagged me last week, and I've put off this meme long enough. I'm a champion procrastinator if it's gonna involve sitting and thinking for too long... Here goes.
