So, cat folks. Have you ever been busy doing something, or killing time while you’re doing something, and look up, and see a little cat head peeking around the corner, watching you? Do you find this:
a. Oh, so sweet, it’s almost precious.
b. Cute.
c. A little freaky.
d. Irritating, because you can’t get a minute to yourself.
e. All of the above?
Yeah, one of my floofs do this, like he’s a spy. The rest just barge in, and either a), rub up against my legs; b), try to get on my lap; c), sit down and watch me while meowing; or d), all of these activities.
