I am in deep, deep trouble. Gayatri "She Who Sings" usually limited her attentions when I am trying to write to crawling on my chest and butting her head against my chin. She has now discovered the attractions of the cursor. She's been staring at it, following it with her eyes, for the last 10 minutes. No sign of losing interest. Just as I began this post, she embarked on trying to pin the tantalizing thing down -- with her claws. On my monitor screen.

We must have a talk. If I can herd her out of the mudroom back into the house, surely there must be hope?

Surely I jest.

Face it. You are doomed.

I fear you are right. Is fear the right verb when dealing with feline wiles?

I surrender to my fate with one small modification. As davetrow pointed out, Gayatri follows the cursor with her eye (singular, as she has only one that functions, not that the loss impedes her in any significant way -- on the contrary, it seems to have cemented her determination to Master All She Surveys.)

This is Cleo on my shoulder. Grouchy Old Grandma, but much loved.

I type this with wrists way up as kitlen Arwen, drowsing on my lap, lifts her head. Yes, we "cat mamas" must all suffer. lol

Be glad she isn't fascinated when you play the piano...

My husband's cousin, Moshe Cotel z''l (which is an abbreviation of the Hebrew, "May his memory be for a blessing") was a world-renown composer. One day his cat, Ketzel, walked across the piano. He wrote down what she had played:

Ketzel the cat's Piece for Piano, Four Paws, transcribed by the composer, won Special Mention in the Paris New Music Review's "60 Seconds for Piano" International Competition. The article in the New York Times, which appeared on November 10, 1997, was picked up by wire services around the country and throughout the world.
