I don't really ever do two posts in two days, but I'm in a bloggy mood lately so here we go. Normally I do my work from my bed, but today I decided to move to the kitchen table. Mostly because of its prime location near the coffee maker.
But my cat is distracting me. He's being very passive-aggressive about it, too. He crawled into my lap earlier, and I was all "awwwww" but then he jumped back onto the table and sat on my notepad, trying to stop be from working. When he realized I'm working on my laptop, he assumed the position at right and proceeded to swat at my hands as I typed.
I've noticed that a lot of times, writer types have cats as pets. It sort of makes sense, because cats don't need to go out ever and they generally keep to themselves. Therefore said writer/owner can spend their whole day drinking coffee, chain smoking, and writing about things while the cat only occasionally bothers them for some petting.
Considering my cat's affinity for meowing at me and swatting my hand when I'm not scratching him behind the ears, I'd say he probably thinks he's a dog. Dogs are only good for accomplished writers who get paid in advance and have time to take their pets outside for walks.
That's because many writers are lesbians, and lesbians have cats.
