world according to cat on top

Tybalt has different habits for the two of us. For one thing, he doesn't bug me when I'm sleeping, but he does bug B. As a result, we lock him out of the bedroom at night. This means that if I'm up and about, he pays me even more attention than he would otherwise.

He likes to climb up onto my shoulders and perch around the back of my neck for a while. (Usually he puts his front paws up on my chest, and I lift him up.) That way he can lick my hair. But he does this only when I'm standing; if I sit down he jumps off. When I'm working at the computer, he likes to prowl around my desk and knock things off. Like the trackball. If he's too annoying, I pick him up. Usually he climbs off me onto the table behind, then jumps down to the floor and back up on the desk again.

But sometimes when I pick him up, he will settle down and cuddle on my chest. He was doing that last night while I was registering for a ticket, and it wanted to send a confirmation code to my cell phone. Blast; the phone was in another room. So I got up, still holding Tybalt to my chest. He was quite startled at this, and climbed up onto his usual position on my shoulders. Then he jumped down when I sat down at the computer again.
