I’m trying to write this post with a cat on my lap.
I have three cats (technically really big kittens), and they love to sit on me, often two or three at a time. Right now, Hela is gracing me with her presence, and she is my smallest kitty, so I am working around her.
My cats live indoors only, and they are thrilled that their humans are always home and have laps they can sit on. I asked them how they handle staying at home, and here is what they said.
Advice from my cats:
- Vary your view by sitting in different places and on different objects around the house
- Sleep often
- Exercise often. Run up and down the hallway if you have no other option. Bang into the wall to stop yourself
- Play with your favorite toys to keep your mind sharp. Don’t bother putting them away. You never know when you will want to play again
- Spend time with the people you live with – a lot of time. They might leave at any moment
- Show love often. Meowing in the middle of TV shows and standing in front of the TV is one way to do this. Sitting on laps is another.
There you have it. Advice from three nine-month-old kittens who stay at home all the time. I know I won’t be home forever, so I’m following this advice and not complaining that Hela is still sitting on my lap. I’ll have lots of time to fix all the typos.
