Midnight loves to be in the thick of the action. One only has to start a project and he is there to lend a hand paw. I expect that before I finish composing this post, my little buddy will be sitting in my lap wanting some loving. He will get what he wants. I’m easy that way.

| Midnight likes my lap |
If I don’t respond to his presence, he put his front paws on my chest and nuzzles my chin. How can I ignore that? Why would I want to? When he is back on my lap, and I start to pet him he raises his rear end up as high as he can while standing on tippy paws. The front end stays hunkered down so his spine looks like an old-fashioned child’s playground slide. When I lift my hand from his back, he sometimes over-balances and slides off my leg and onto the floor. Of course, he then acts like it is exactly what he meant to do. Kitty will not be denied his dignity!
I’m late posting this morning. My plan was to prepare this yesterday (Sunday evening) and set it to post at 3 AM. First step was retrieve the photo from the camera. SD card from the camera in hand, I reached for the card reader. Fumbled for the card reader. Searched for the card reader. I usually keep it in the top tray of organizer stack. (See upper right of photo.) Not there. Not anywhere. Oh well . . .
This morning, I started looking again. No luck. I gave up and started working on another idea. Just above the organizer stack is a compartment in my desk that has a frosted glass door. (Upper right of photo.) I opened it to find . . . not what I was looking for at that moment. I did find the card reader. Why did I put it there? Silly old man.
Comments
I’ve made a change on comments. When you post a comment it will no longer open a pop-up window. I had to do that to use a new feature on Blogger–threaded comments. I will now be able to comment on your comments. If you are using Blogger, read about it here: http://buzz.blogger.com/.
Update
I’ve changed the comments back to the way they were. A couple of friends reported that it was much slower, and that is not good. Thanks for the feedback folks.
Blogger's comment system are notoriously inconvenient. I like the inline comments idea, but the verification word doesn't show up until AFTER you try to publish your comment and THEN you have to scroll down to see it. Sometimes it does not even show up and I have to reload everything (thus erasing comment). I like the inline form itself, though. Pop ups are too small and I tend to lose them amongst my forest of open windows!! Oh well, it's not a big deal. I'm happy leaving comments. 🙂
Lin – I changed it back.
Shark – He has adapted well to living inside with us. I switched back on the comments.
PJ – Good to hear from you.
i sometimes wonder why i put something where i end up finding it too. then i think maybe it's the mischievous little sock fairy looking to trick me. hehehe
have yourself a wonderful night and thanks for stopping by!
PS- I don't like this comment layout much. Inline comments load slowly and I have to scroll within it to see the verification word.
Midnight sure likes his comforts for a kitty who started out homeless. Friends' house where I was last night, their cat was rubbing my legs. They said that' pretty rare- guess I'm special.
Such helpers, aren't they?
My two kitties are not cuddlers–but they each have their designated times for a little petting. Hobbes–right when he wakes up. He's like a kitten again. Grace–in the mornings, in the bathroom with me. Then again at mom & Grace nap time and again in the evening while I'm at the computer. Don't you dare try to pet them outside of those times!
I tried the new comment system, but it was taking forever to load on my computer. I think it's time for a new one–this one is moving sllllowwwwww.
