Next to My Computer




I love having company when I work but don’t need a cat sleeping on the telephone. It has taken two months for Sukhi to accept the pink bed on the side table. Hurray!



Telecommuting is back in style again. In fact things have swung so far that we are looking at forced telecommuting and desk sharing this winter. Here is Sukhi helping me work. She will turn the touch lamp on with her nose before she settles in.

A series of steps (or flights of steps), connected by landings, that permit passage between two or more levels or floors.
Also an important nap location for the house sentry cat.
She can monitor the TV room and the computer from here. With the added bonus of being able to swat people on the head as they walk by.
Its really kind of dangerous because this is typically an evening/night time nap location. That means there is a sleeping cat in the dark where you might want to walk.
I went to Petco at lunch today to pick up some Tartar Control Cat food, now called Oral Care. Sukhi is willing to eat some of it (fingers crossed) so I’m mixing it in with her other dry food.
I understand that Pet products are big industry in the U.S. but I wasn’t prepared for Breed Specific Cat Food.

I have the option of buying Siamese 38 cat food.
Tailor Made Nutrition for Siamese Cats
Siamese 38 has been designed with a specific kibble that helps slow the rate of ingestion and promotes chewing. By inducing more thorough chewing, a “brushing” effect occurs. Siamese 38 also contains sodium tripolyphosphate, which binds calcium in the mouth. By binding the calcium, the bacteria associated with plaque can not incorporate it into the formation of tartar.

I’ve had to teach Sukhi to sleep/nap with me. I worry about her upbringing and the sad state of affairs that led to this point. I had a 5 Star nap with Sukhi. She was leaning on me at arms length. I fell asleep and woke up with a handful of purring fur.
Paul & I ran the Helvetia Half Marathon for the 4th consecutive year. Long runs = long naps. When we got back on Saturday, her squeakiness was impatient for the napping to begin.
